Reminders
The reminders enables you to keep details of all the phone calls you and your contacts make to each other, and any other type of correspondence.
For example, let’s say that you call customer A regarding an overdue invoice. You could create a log entry that records the date of the phone call, a summary of the outcome, and the date you will want to recontact them by if their invoice is still outstanding.
When a customer or vendor calls, you can use the entry to retrieve a complete history of your business relationship with that contact.
Calendar Event
[Mac only] If you use Calendar to plan your day-to-day activities, you can publish reminders in Calendar. This enables you to keep all reminders in one application. For more information, see
