It’s really important to set reminders for our tasks so we don’t miss our deadlines and stay on track.
I earlier used to use the Task Scheduler inbuilt in my Windows PC to display a message on my desktop at the specified time. It is also free.
But then i moved on to a much easier and faster app- Notezilla sticky notes for Windows.
Why? Let me explain the steps to set reminders at specific time using both the above apps and you will understand it clearly.
What is Notezilla?
Notezilla is a professional, elegant & highly rated sticky notes app for Windows & Phones (Android, iOS, iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone, etc.). It can help you organize your life by keeping all the notes, tasks & reminders that you may need when-ever and where-ever you are.
With sticky notes, you hardly have to put effort to take notes, set reminders, etc. Just jot down & move on with your task at hand. Notezilla allows you to create attractive and realistic sticky notes to make the desktop look more colorful and beautiful.
It works smoothly on both phones & tablets.

Reminder message at specific time using Task Scheduler
1.Search for ‘Task Scheduler’ in the Windows search bar and open it.
2. Under the ‘Actions’ section, choose ‘ Create Basic Task’.
3. Give your task a name and a description(optional) and click Next.
4. Choose the Trigger frequency. This basically means choosing when you want to start the task. Here, you can also choose to set repeat trigger. Click Next.
5. Choose the action you wish to perform. In this case, it is ‘Display a message (deprecated)’.
6. Click on Finish and you are all set.
Closing comments
Even though the Task Scheduler is free and inbuilt in your system, not many people are aware of its existence. It is not used that often for the simple reasons that it is confusing with multiple windows and steps to configure.
Also, two features- the reminder and email features are deprecated features. That means they may or may not function because they are no longer supported by Microsoft.
Therefore it is better to go for something more trustworthy like Notezilla. Notezilla’s reminders work perfectly and is easy to configure under a single window. It also has other amazing features like sync, password protect notes, insert pictures in notes, attach sticky notes to websites, documents etc.
So how about giving it a try today. It’s free and also perfectly boosts your productivity by saving your time and efforts!
