Okay I have a legitimate question: for random things you need to do in a long timeframe (ex. Change the Air Filters in 6 months) do you add it to your calendar? Siri for example would add it for exactly 6 months to the day from now, and what if that is a Tuesday and you'd rather do it at a more convenient time?

Adding it to reminders would have an enormous number of pending reminders it feels like

I personally would open up my calendar, flip six months later, and then pick a convenient time, since there is wiggle room on getting something like that done. I'd probably add it for a weekend and add a notification to go off a few days prior.

In Google Calendar, it would less than a minute, based on a quick test I just did.

<shameless plug> Try http://www.instanote.io

I built it to scratch an itch especially for reminders. You can snooze reminders, for an hour, a day, or a week. I snooze them all the time until I’m ready to do it.

Oh, this doesn't have a web interface? Would be epic if it did!

As soon as it pops up on your calendar, it's now a 'to-do'. Manage that the same way you manage your other to-dos, wether that's a reminder or a sticky note or a list or whatever.

I would see myself procrastinate until it falls off my calendar.
