Reminders: Notes You Read, Not Tasks You Do

Daily Gear Daily Gear Team

Reminders are daily reading cards: short lines to keep your mind aligned.

What Reminders Are For

  • Personal rules: "No phone before first task."
  • Motivation lines: short statements that reset your focus.
  • Identity cues: reminders of who you are trying to become.

What Reminders Are Not

  • They are not action tasks.
  • They are not deadlines.
  • They are not checklists.

Good Reminder Writing

Keep each reminder short, direct, and personal. The app limit is 25 reminders, but fewer is better because too many reminders become noise and the important ones lose impact.

Import and Convert with Lists

You can import Reminders as Lists, and import Lists as Reminders.
