You are my favorite Apple instructor. I’ll be regularly following you. Thank you sharing your knowledge & wisdom with us. God Almighty will even give you more strength & knowledge... Amen 🙏

That's what I really like in the Apple ecosystem: the integration!

[helenro]

Thankyou for this video. I've had apple products for years (mainly when family upgrade their phones and laptops and I luckily get the 'hand me down' which saves me a small fortune). I'm currently doing a Clinical Psychology Doctorate and the demands of my course have increased and I'm 'spinning a lot of plates' so to speak so organisation is paramount. This very informative video which is very helpful for me when I'm on the go, or sitting at my computer. As much as I love all the aesthetically pleasing apps that exist for organisation, this video reminded me of the benefits of using apple's own apps and how to make the most of it. Looking forward to exploring the rest of your channel - thanks again!

Thank you so much, I’m 14 and I’ve been improving myself the past 3-4 months and now I want a reminder in the morning. Thanks 🙏

Thanks!! I was stumped trying to share a Note to Reminders. Apple needs to allow users to share a Note to Reminders without having to select text first.

Thanks Carl, this has got me using Apple Notes again which I have had for years and used just as a 'filing cabinet' this will now stop me going down the rabbit holes of Apps. Love your work, been following you for yonks! Top drawer Carl!

[JasonMcFadden]

Wow, nice. I didn't realize how integrated Notes and Reminders were. This seriously helps my productivity updating. Thanks!

[ArtingwithRandall]

This is just a great way to use the apps together and convinces me more than ever to just stick with the default apps because of their tight integration and flexibility.

Thank you Carl for all the brilliant helpful hints and tips for GTD in the Apple system. There is one problem that I don't have an elegant solution for and it's this: I have a project in Notes and from a task I create a reminder. However, when I look at my Project in Notes, I can't tell if I've set a reminder or not. I have to look in Reminders to see, which is not productive. I've started adding a comment to Notes that let's me know I've created a reminder but it's not elegant and it's also time consuming. Do you have a better way?

Wow Carl, thank you for opening up the door to more ways to use the Apple eco system. Unfortunately many times their steps are not intuitive. For example if you hit the Share button you get the same menu, BUT it won't save the Note to the Reminder unless your do it the way you demonstrate in the video, even though the process looks the same. Thanks for sharing this video.

Thank you. I’ve been digging everywhere in iOS and couldn’t find this feature.

[frankrogers]

So simple yet so effective, thanks so much Carl

[RyanNagy]

Thanks. I spend a good hour a week with your videos and my laptop and iPhone learning new stuff. Much appreciated!

[terryhatmaker]

You can also do this between Mail and Reminders.

[thebritishindian]

I never knew I could do that, great that the link to the note is right there. Thanks!

[johnguillaume]

Helpful. Thank you. My wish is that a user would have the option to have the "checklist" feature be pulled into reminders.

[kayday]

You are - as always - a complete lifesaver Carl

Hello Carl, many thanks for this excellent and useful workflow, it fix a problem too that occurs when you use drag-and-drop at iOS/iPadOS 15.xx.
Here the bug with drag-and-drop that I found: If you drag any note direct from the notes app into reminders then you have a direct link to this note in the reminders task. The problem is that the iCloud sync obviously doesn’t work correct with those links. If you create those links in reminders at your iPhone than they only work on your iphone but not at your ipad. The same notes link in the reminder app at the ipad doesnt work and shows only linked to the notes app but not at the correct note. If you use siri with the command “remind at this” when you are in the correct note then work the link in the reminders app correct at iphone and ipad.

I look forward to your updates, so much to learn. Thank you for your time and in sharing your knowledge

Wow - this is going to save me so much time! Thank you so much Carl. Sub'ed!
