Set due dates and reminders

Setting a due date

1. Tap a task to open it.
2. Tap the Due date field.
3. Choose a date from the calendar picker, or select a quick option such as Today, Tomorrow, or Next week.
4. The due date is saved automatically.

Tasks are grouped by their due date when browsing, so you can quickly see what is coming up:

• Past — Overdue tasks.
• Today — Due today.
• This week — Due in the next seven days.
• Soon — Due within two weeks.
• Later — Due beyond two weeks.
• Someday — No due date set.

Adding a reminder

Reminders send you a notification so you never miss a task. You can add one or more reminders to any task.

1. Tap a task to open it.
2. Tap Add reminder.
3. Choose the type of reminder:
   • Absolute — Pick a specific date and time to be notified.
   • Relative — Choose a time offset before the due date or start date (e.g. 1 hour before, 1 day before).

Quick time presets

When choosing a time for an absolute reminder, you can pick from these presets:

• Morning — 8:00 AM
• Afternoon — 1:00 PM
• Evening — 6:00 PM
• Night — 9:00 PM

Or tap Custom to choose any time.

Snoozing a reminder

When a reminder notification appears, you can snooze it for later:

• 1 hour — Reschedules the reminder to one hour from now.
• 3 hours — Reschedules the reminder to three hours from now.
• Tomorrow — Reschedules the reminder to the same time tomorrow.

Start dates

A start date is different from a due date — it marks when you plan to begin working on a task. Start dates are used by the planning feature to schedule tasks into time-of-day slots.

1. Tap a task to open it.
2. Tap Start date and choose a date and time.

Relative reminders can be set against either the due date or the start date, depending on which makes more sense for your workflow.

Removing a due date or reminder

To remove a due date, tap the Due date field and clear the selection. To remove a reminder, tap the reminder and choose Delete.
