Synchronize Your Life: Mastering Task Scheduling with rationalize.me!
Life often demands timely completion, whether it's a medical appointment or a crucial meeting. rationalize.me seamlessly manages such tasks with two distinct scheduling options:
- One-Time Tasks: For events that occur only once, set a Due date to ensure you stay on track.
- Recurrent Tasks: For tasks that repeat based on a specific schedule, rationalize.me offers a robust recurrent scheduling feature.
However, it's important to note that a task cannot have both a due date and a recurrent schedule simultaneously.
For each scheduled task, you can set up to three notifications. rationalize.me will remind you about your task. You can choose Email, and the system will generate an email to the address you used during registration. Alternatively, you can opt for Notifications, and the system will send you a push message if you have allowed to receive notifications in your settings.
In the following sections, we'll guide you through the handling of both one-time and recurrent tasks within rationalize.me.
