Tools I Use – Due App

Some say it takes 30 days to develop a habit.  That may be right, but I prefer to just have my iPhone (and Apple Watch) automatically remind me (and not give up) to undertake certain actions.  For this, I use the Due application.

I currently have nine reminders set up in the application.  A few are everyday (or at least every working day) items, like taking allergy medicine and completing my timesheets for work.  Others are items that I try to do every few days, like making journal entries in Day One.

I also use the application to track weekly tasks (take out the trash), monthly tasks (clean off the porch roof), and then even more infrequent tasks (replace toothbrush, clean vacuum cleaner).  Most immediate tasks go in my task lists, but I prefer to use Due when I’m going to need constant reminders (every minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, half an hour, or every hour) until I complete the task.
