Since / Guide
Repeat it from when you actually did it.
By Stuart Malcolm · Updated
Some routines do not belong on a fixed calendar date. What matters is how long it has been since you last did them.
A simple example
Change bed sheets every two weeks. Mark the routine Done when you change them, and Since schedules the next date two weeks from that completion.
You choose the interval
When you add a routine, you choose how often it should come around. Reminders are optional. Open Since to see what’s due, what needs attention today and what can wait.
Good fits for this kind of reminder
Household jobs, personal routines, maintenance and life admin can all fit, especially the things you only need to think about after enough time has passed.
Fixed date or completion-based?
- Use a fixed date when
- the calendar date itself matters, such as a renewal or appointment.
- Repeat from completion when
- the useful gap begins when the job was actually done, such as changing a filter or completing a household routine.
