Replace the date with a calendar icon and the time with a dropdown menu.

The calendar icon makes selecting the date easy, while the dropdown for time makes it less confusing.

Combine the reminder and notification for easier control understanding.

To enhance visibility and accessibility of the update button, change the label "See Details" to "Check Progress" and move it to a secondary button. This adjustment will make it easier for users to locate the “Update” button.
