Hello,

I am trying to get my program to have a reminders function where I can ask it to remind me to do stuff & after a certain amount of time it will remind me about the thing I told it to remind me about.

The only problem I have is that while it's waiting to remind me about the reminder, I would like to still use my program.
Right now, I can set a reminder but it will lock me out of the program until the reminder pops up.

How do I fix it so once the reminder is set I can still use my program & after the specified amount of time, the reminder will just print to the terminal?

Thanks in advance.

    #                               Set Reminders
    #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if ('remind me' in command):
        command = command.replace("remind me", "")    
        autoTypeAnimation("Ok, I will remind you" + command)
        import threading
        t =  threading.Thread(target=waiting(command))
        t.start()


def waiting(command):
    print("Reminder Set")
    # Wait 5s then bring up reminder
    time.sleep(5)
    autoTypeAnimation("FYI: I was told to remind you" + command)
