[Remind-Fans] How do you manage your todo list(s) using Remind?

[Brian Carter]

I have a cron job that takes due reminders and adds it to my Todo.txt file.
Remind is something I check often, but it doesn't have a todo list function
built in.

I am mobile now, but if you want I can post my cron line here when I get
home.
