Cheatsheet
-----------------------------------

Here's a handy Sandy Shorthand cheat-sheet with complete examples (and shorthand shortcuts) for everything Sandy understands.

/ Need a little more to go on? Grab a copy of The Sandy Guide  -- or have a copy delivered to your inbox by emailing Sandy with: help guide. /

Remember something:
  > remember JJ's wife's name is CJ
  > r alaska air mileage card #1234567

Set a reminder:
  > remind me to move the car in 15 minutes
  > r take out the garbage sun eve
  
Add an appointment to your calendar:
  > remember Marketing meeting tomorrow 9-10am
  > remind me about lunch with Pat at noon on 12/10
  > r Yoga class thur 4pm

Make any reminder, appointment, to-do, or list repeat:
  > remind me to take out the garbage on Sunday evening @weekly
  > remember to pay the credit card bill on 9/1 @monthly
  > r Sam's birthday 10/2 @birthday

Specify how you'd like a reminder sent (overrides your default reminder settings):
  > remind me to pick up a pizza on the way home from work this evening @email
  > remind me to call Susan during my commute at 7:30am @sms
  > remind me to head downtown by 9:30am for my coffee date with Brad @twitter
  > remind me to leave work at 5pm @email @twitter
  > Remember to mow the lawn on Sunday @noreminder

Add a to-do:
  > remember to pick up the dry cleaning @todo
  > r clear out the gutters @todo

Mark a to-do as done (or to do again):
  > update @done
  > u @todo
  
Make a list:
  > remember groceries @weekly
  > * eggs
  > * milk
  > * bread
  
Add to and remove things from a list:
  > update * cheese
  > update -* milk
  > update 
  >  * rolls
  >  -* bread

Add someone to your contacts:
  > remember Dad's number is 503-555-1212
  > r Frank Fitzwilliam mlicm@example.com, 123 Couch Street, Portland, OR 97212

Tag (label, file) something:
  > remember eggs @groceries
  > r Southwest Airline #123 @travel @"hawaiian holiday"
  
Look something up:
  > lookup Frank
  > look up @errand
  > l appointments
  > lookup this week's to-dos

Update something:
  > update Meeting in Chicago
  > update #1 4-6pm
  > u @home
  > u -@oldtag
  
Update the current recurrence of a repeating event:
  > update tomorrow
  > update #1 4-6pm
  > update #1 @done

Update all future occurrences of a repeating event:
  > update tomorrow @weekly
  > update #1 4-6pm @monthly
  > update #1 @done @daily
  
(Include the appropriate recurrence tag (ex. @weekly, @monthly, @daily, etc.) to let Sandy know she should update all future occurrences.)

Forget (delete) something:
  > forget
  > forget #1
  > f #1

Forget the current occurrence of a repeating event:
  > forget
  > forget #1
  > f #1

Forget all future occurrences of a repeating event:
  > forget @weekly
  > forget #1 @monthly
  > f #1 @daily

Tell time:
  * 12- and 24-hour time (1:30pm; 13:30)
  * Specific dates (May 14, 2007; 5/14/07; 5.15)
  * Relative dates (today; tomorrow; next Thursday; Thu; next week)
  * Relative times (this afternoon; tomorrow morning; next thursday evening)
  * Relative date intervals (in 2 days; in 3 weeks; in a month)
  * Relative time intervals (in 15 minutes; in an hour; in 4 hours)
  * Date ranges (May 14-16; 10/14-10/22)
  * Time ranges (1-4pm; 8am-5pm)
  * Time zones (4pm Europe/London; 5/1 7am PDT-2pm EDT; noon GMT+10)

(Sandy interprets "monday", "this monday", and "on monday" as the very first Monday coming up and "next monday" as the Monday after that.)
  
Ignore time sometimes:
  > remind me to talk to Sue tomorrow about my "December 1st" trip
  > remember to buy tickets on Friday for local performance of "Next Monday"
  > remind me to ask "June First" out for Friday night

Make things repeat:
  * By day: @daily, @bidaily (every 2 days), @weekends (Sat and Sun), @weekdays (Mon through Fri)
  * By week: @weekly, @biweekly (every 2 weeks)
  * By month: @monthly, @bimonthly (every 2 months), @quarterly (every 3 months)
  * By year: @yearly, @birthday, @anniversary, and @biyearly (every 2 years).

Ask Sandy to reply -- or not (overrides your default email reply settings):
  * Remember to replace the back-porch lightbulb @reply
  * remember Pride and Prejudice @noreply

Set a goal:
  > Remember Anywhere is walking distance if you have the time @goal

(Your latest goal appears in both the web and email versions of your Daily Digest.)
