    I feel like 90% of the functionality and reason I use a Todo app is the notifications and scheduling of tasks.

      Me too, in this way it’s more than just a todo list, it’s also a time management tool.

      I use tasks.org, every morning all my tasks pop up and I defer them into timeslots. Before noon, afternoon, evening. Then I get another reminder at a point where I should be done with the tasks in a previous time slot.

      Getting notifications about my todo lists is just annoying to me. When i wanna look at what i need to do i just open the list and look at it. I prefer not to pollute my notification with that

        It’s not about the notification, it’s about being reminded.

        I use a task manager because I can’t remember every task I need to do. I use reminders because I can’t remember to do the tasks I need to do.

        What do you do for time sensitive stuff like putting clothes in the dryer, or watering plants and that sort of thing?

          Personally, I set a timer or alarm on my phone. It works for one-off stuff as well as recurring events. If I need more flexibility, I’ll make a calendar event that sends a push notification.

          These home chores are not that complex that I need remiders. But I do have a list of stuff to buy, like food and cleaning products, on a shared text file (a shared google keep note actually, forgive me for my sins), and every tuesday or so one of us goes to the market to get those (we alternate).

          Basically, whenever I have time to work on something, I try to do the most important and time sensitive things on my todo list. If I dont have enough time to do those, then I wont, and thats it, what can I do?

            Yeah it’s more like I’ll forget clothes in the washer for days if I didn’t set up a reminder lol
