BOTTOM LINE: I have no problem with reminders.
It may not be the same thing, but reminders work for me. When I miss a task, and I’m looking at an overdue reminder, I mark it done, and then it fires again at its normal scheduled time. I realize this has a couple of problems, including it shows a task marked as done when it really wasn’t done, but I’m used to that by now and worse case go to my completed items and delete the completed task (obviously I’m talking about a task where I have ‘show completed task’ unchecked). Back to reminders. When I click dismiss, the task is still shown as overdue, and when I mark the task done, the reminder still re-occurs at its scheduled time. So, while I sense you are probably correct, I don’t have any issues with reminders…now that I understand how they work! (I didn’t used to). In the past I’ve suggested having “working hours in settings”, so that a task that is set to recur daily on workdays doesn’t go off on Sunday. Or for hourly tasks I don’t get a reminder to check email in the middle of the night. In other words, it would count an 8 hour-recurring task NOT including non-working time, as MS Project Manager does.

I have a problem where I set tasks to reoccur every day. This works until I miss a day and accidently dismiss the reminder then I don't get notified every again. Sometimes this goes un-noticed for embarrassingly long periods of time and I clearly need a better solution. Before I start looking at calendar reminders from other platforms I thought I'd check here. Does anyone have a working solution that would still remind me if I forget a day? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
