UPDATE - LONG TERM BACKGROUND NAGS HAVE BEEN ENABLED, just say 'Alexa, notify me later' after you set up your nag --------
Procrastinate safely, let Alexa look after reminding you to do important things like getting out of bed and washing the dishes.
Just say 'Alexa, start nagging me', she'll ask you what your task is and how many minutes you need to be reminded.
A list of predefined tasks can be found at https://startnaggingme.com
The nagging comes every minute and after 10 minutes of being reminded Alexa will check with you to see if you have done the task.
The general mode of this skill runs in the foreground. This skill can only run in the background if you set up notifications (say 'notify me later') and opt into notifications for this skill in the Alexa app.
Here are some functions you can use whilst she is nagging you:
Alexa, notify me later - sets up the current nag for background notifications / reminders Alexa, make this my favorite - the current nag will start by default whenever you launch the skill Alexa, start over - returns to the nag set up without deleting your favorite nag Alexa, remove my favorite - removes your favorite nag
