I'm still getting used to Remember The Milk (previously I was a 13 year Palm veteren)

Currently, when I went to have a reminder pop up to do something every Monday, or once a month, or something, I have an appointment set up in my calendar app. However, it looks like RTM has this kind of functionality as well, and I'm considering using it.

So, would anyone care to share some of their strategies with reminders? What I would worry about would be having a bunch of these types of tasks cluttering things up when they are not yet do. I really don't even want to see them until I want to be reminded of them.

I guess I could modify all my smart lists to exclude anything with a due date (since I'm using due dates at all, just using priority). But anyone have better ideas?

Tips and tricks welcome!

thanks,
Sylvia
