Examples of How I Slice My Due Reminders

• I shove a lot of stuff in Due–I use a defined naming convention to list the differnt reminder types
  • Any task that pops up and needs to be completed the same day
  • Deferred Toots
  • Deferred SMS
  • Consumables (Usually Triggered by Bookmarklets which I've included)
• I use a unicode Trigram as a delimiter for these types of reminders
  • Thunder - "inciting movement"
• These actions should be deleted / modified to fit your needs
• Any actions which are not triggered by bookmarklets have matching Drafts actions.
