One of our forite features on Cortana is setting reminders. We've already shown you how to do location-based reminders and person-based reminders, but there's also another way. You can also ask Cortana to set a time-based reminder. It's really simple. Head past the break to see how it looks on the Nokia Lumia Icon.

To get started, bring up Cortana by holding the search button for a few seconds. You can tell Cortana to remind you at certain times. Need a reminder at 5:30 A.M. tomorrow? How about 9 P.M. every night? Or 2:33 P.M. on Tuesdays? It's up to you. Here are some examples:
Remind me to throw the garbage every Monday nightRemind me to take out recycling Thursday nightsRemind me to call the plumber tomorrow morningRemind me to wash the car in 2 days at 7 P.M.Remind me to pick up Sheila from the airport on July 17th at 5 P.M.
That's it! Following your request, you can edit the reminder or confirm with Cortana if it is correct. You can say, "Yes," or click the remind button.
