I understand how reminders work and I understand that reminders are supposed to be to do items, while events are scheduled appointments and events with a clear time (aside from all day events). There is no point in having reminders stack up for appointments that you missed, because when they are over, they are over.
But this only makes sense if you use events only for “official” appointments with a clear end date. But what if you want to plan your personal to dos throughout the calendar as well? Do any of you plan your personal tasks in the calendar as well and have items in there that you don’t want to miss? Then how do you make up for the fact that reminders have no length/end date. Do you combine them with normal events? I talk about situations where you want to plan a to do for a specific time block but still want to get reminded properly if you miss it.
I want to get a rid of a to do list at all (and just use a master list for unplanned items) and plan everything in my calendar. However, only reminders make sure that I don’t miss any items on my calendar, but they have no duration and therefore cant be laid out properly like an event.
