What is the difference between remind about and remind of?

Remind about is typically used when ANOTHER PERSON/THING brings something to your attention or makes you remember something that you must do.

Ex:

You are reminded about something you must do.

Please remind me about doing my homework!

Please remind me about my appointment with the doctor!

Remind of: is used to make someone remember someone that they know or something that happened in the past. Situation: A reminds you of B.

Ex:

You smell a neighbor cooking a turkey and it reminds you of your last Thanksgiving dinner.

The turkey cooked during the summer reminded you of last Thanksgiving.
