I'm currently on iOS 12 and iOS 13 can't come soon enough! I was thinking how I want to organize my lists in the Reminders app (which is probably going to be more of a task manager than a reminders app for me).

I have these lists:

  • My Reminders
  • Family Reminders (shared)
(scheduled, reoccurring reminders for both reminders lists)​
  • Groceries (shared)
  • My Tasks
  • Family Tasks (shared)

I like the idea of having the tasks lists be at a glance instead of buried inside of a group. I don't feel I have enough lists to need groups. Also, I assume the group icon can't be changed (stuck with that ugly gray icon)?

So, inside the two separate tasks lists, I want sub-categories (not necessarily sub-tasks).

  • Do
  • Get
  • Plan

While I like the organization of sub-tasks, these are permanent categories that won't be "checked off". So, do I turn these into sub-tasks and ignore the checkbox, or create separate lists, making for a more convoluted organization? I don't suppose sub-tasks can be designated as titles or categories instead of tasks?

Please share your organizational insights.
