Creating a new reminder list
By default, the Reminders app comes with a single list called Reminders. However, if you use reminders fre-
quently, the Reminders list can become cluttered, making it difficult to locate reminders. To solve this problem,
you can organize your reminders by creating new lists. For example, you could have one list for personal tasks
and another for business tasks.
To create a new reminder list, choose File →New List (or press +L). Type the list name and then press
Return.
After you create one or more other new lists, you can then move some or all of your existing reminders to the
appropriate lists. You do that by clicking the list that contains the reminder you want to move, then clicking and
dragging the reminder and dropping it on the destination list. (You can also right-click the reminder, click Move
to List, and then click the destination list.)
