I had no idea that you could make subtasks in Apple Reminders. This is awesome Carl!

It can be useful.

Thanks for this Carl. I thing this should work pretty well for recurrent daily ritual tasks!

This is main reason for me searching You Tube videos for Sub Tasks in Reminders in Monterey or any other iOS device coomputers i.e. iMacs. I can use this function on my iPhone or iPads, no problems. I am realizing it is what it is.

Always the most helpful videos

Thank you, MaiKai.

Love your videos. I'm trying to decide between using Reminders only on my iPhone/iPad as I use a WIndows PC (for now) or using Todoist. They are both great and have their pros and cons so it is hard to decide. Your videos have helped me become more productive though. I want to thank you for that!

Hi Erin, As you develop your productivity system, Todoist is going to give you a lot more flexibility. You might find Reminders a little frustrating over time.

Thanks for these Carl. I’ve recently got to Grand Master in Todoist but kind of feel finished with it. I’m currently experimenting with Apple Reminders as an alternative.

Hi Brian, I have a feeling you will feel frustrated with Reminders. While it has improved, a lot, over the last couple of years and it’s Siri integration is fantastic, there are a lot of things we take for granted in Todoist that Reminders does not have the ability to do. (Boards, sections, archiving and filters)

I thought this was a tutorial fixing the issues within sub-tasks until I realized you’re experiencing exactly what I experienced😂

With Apple, we just have to be patient. Things get fixed... Eventually.

Carl, You can create subtasks (indent) or remove them (outdent) on Mac. Try right clicking on the reminder! Alan

Got it, Thanks Alan. For some reason before 12.1, that wasn't there. After I updated to 12.1 it was.

The joy of working on multiple platforms - I use Task app for Microsoft. I hope apple enables sub tasks creation on Mac

They do now, Issie. I think it was added in the latest macOS update.

Thank you and fyi: On the Mac: highlight task, press command key then tap Bracket right - that converts to a sub task. To promote a subtask to task, tap it to highlight, then press command key and tap Bracket left!

Thank you, Suzanne.

Thanks and as a new user to Reminders it gets the job done but it’s “incomplete”. I’m moving over from ToDoist as I’m not involved professionally anymore and don’t need it. So no import task makes my conversion long-winded! Also while Siri natural language impresses it’s unavailable when entering manually. Lots of other “imperfections” but I an live with it.

You're right there, MArtin when you say "it does the job".

You do the same on Monterey. Just take your task and drag it into/over your maint task. From the left. So you have subtask. I just tested this out. And works perfectly 😊

You can also use Command-] to indent to sub task, if you prefer key bindings 😊

You can do this on Monterey. Just select the second task and drag it on top of the original heading. Also, I have a dropdown arrow on the right side of the original task and it still stays as a subtask.Also when I selected "scheduled" the subtask 2 dated tomorrow shows up and the original dated today shows up. Not sure why all this works for me on my OSX system but not yours. Interesting.

@@Carl_Pullein lol Good to know.

Would be great if subtasks regenerated on repeating reminders.

Hi, I found out that subtask does not show any information which task it is related to. So if I set reminder Send the offer (subtask) in Project A (task) and I get the reminder on that date, I just see Send the offer, but have no idea in which project. Even in the search results I just see the subtask without any other information so it is almost impossible to find out where the subtask belongs without going through every single task. This makes Reminders absolutely useless for any kind of project management. Any idea how to deal with that?

Hi Ondrej, Reminders is not a project manager, it’s a task manager. It’s job is to tell you what tasks you need to do today and in that respect it does a good job. If you want to manage projects digitally, then something like Monday.com or Click Up would be a better option for you.

It depends. To delete a tag, just remove all notes (including deleted notes) that has the tag. However, if you have the 'ghost tag' bug, then I'm afraid there's not a lot you can do about it.
