I've created a number of routines in Reminders. Some repeat daily, others weekly...
However: instead of reminders, I might create repeating Calendar events alternatively.
So now I wonder which road to take, if not both?

All advice is welcome. TIA

One advantage of using Reminders is that for your very frequent repeating events (i.e., daily), they won't clog up your calendar views, especially monthly. If Reminders works for you, why change it?

Just looking for possible ways of improving, that's all.
As an example: I take a vitamin each morning. Is that a calendar entry or a reminder?

I actually do both. Vitamin each morning would be a reminder. Something a little important like the water bill is a repeating calendar entry.

If it is something you need to do, it’s a reminder. If it’s an appointment, an event, or anything that has a specific time to start and end, it‘s in the calendar.

Thank you all for the feedback. I will eventually get there ;-)
