To-do lists on your phone or PC are great, but reminders work best if you get them exactly
when you need them. To help you out, Cortana can provide three types of reminders:
As always, when telling Cortana to provide a reminder, you can type or use your voice.
•
Time-based,
such as a reminder to leave work at 4 P.M. on Thursday because you have
a doctor appointment that day.
•
Place-based,
such as a reminder to get milk the next time you’re at the grocery store.
•
Person-based,
such as a reminder to let your spouse know that you need to work late
when he or she calls.
