This also works with “ Hey Cortana” if you have that always-listening mode enabled, so you can just say “Hey Cortana, remind me to do something” to your PC without clicking anything. For example, you could say “remind me to do the laundry at 3 PM”. To set a reminder on your PC, open Cortana (by clicking the “Ask Me Anything” box or by opening the Start menu) and tell Cortana to set a reminder with a description and time. But reminders you create on your Windows PC will also be synced to your phone. The Cortana app brings the Cortana virtual assistant to your phone, so you can open it and tap the microphone icon to speak to Cortana and set reminders from there. Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search.

You may also want to enable the location feature, which allows you to set location-based reminders. Be sure to enable notifications so you can receive notifications about reminders. Cortana will ask to see your location, and to send you notifications.
