Lists
Review a list
A list can carry a next-review date, so it comes back to you on purpose.
Review is part of NewTwos Plus.
Why you'd care
Lists do not fail by being wrong, they fail by being forgotten. A reading list you never reopen is the same as no reading list.
Review is the fix: instead of relying on remembering, you set when a list should next appear in front of you.
The 60-second version
Set a review date on a list. When it is due, the list appears in the Review hub with a badge.
Going further
It is for lists, not things. For an individual thing you want to remember, use memory or memorize instead. See memorize.
The hub batches them. Rather than notifying you per list, due reviews collect in one place you visit when you choose. See the Review hub.
A badge can show the count, so you know there is something waiting without opening it. Controlled by Settings Appearance & Accessibility Review badge.
Settings that change this
- Settings Appearance & Accessibility Review badge shows a count of due reviews.
Tips
- Monthly is the right cadence for most reference lists. Weekly turns into noise fast.
- Review is the antidote to bookmarking everything. A list you review does not need to be pinned.
