I hate when YouTubers only talk about productivity that revolves around video content. THANK YOU for talking about productivity that has normal, family friendly ways to stay organized. I’m sure there is a lot more in this category.

Btw, thank you for showing us a “normal” use of this system. A lot of people give corporate or freelance examples of a productivity setup, and yours is about doing things like dethatching a yard or putting wipers on a car.

I believe that one can optimize several things and this video helped me a lot, I hope I can get one like this but with accessories that collaborate with tech

iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro here. I keep thinking about abandoning my "outside" note and reminder apps and just using the built-in Apple utilities. You've pushed me along.

One of the few videos that are actually insightful and is not revolving about showcasing fancy stuff with no eye to actual benefits.

So real and so useful. I spent a year wasting my time trying all of the trendy productivity apps and just wasted time. Ended up going back to apples stock apps and, although it doesn’t have all the extra fancy bells and whistles, I eventually found that I never needed them in the first place

Quite possibly the best Apple ecosystem productivity video I’ve seen. Never knew Reminders did all of that. Thanks. Subscribing.

Watching this after WWDC 24, and am SO excited to see the possibilities to use the ecosystem with the new updates. Especially having reminders built into calendar now.

I was looking around for something other than my Apple phone and laptop. I guess it turns out that I have the things I need to get scheduled and organized already. I just need to learn how to use them. Thanks

Really cool. I’m just now setting up Apple reminders, notes and calendar. This is super helpful. 👍👍

Long time user of Things3 and Bear. I decided to for first party apps and see how it works out. So far I like it for a lot of the things you highlight. One thing I do different than you, is that I use widget “stacks” to be able to swipe between Reminders lists. I have a ”today” list where I am tagged (smart list), and then a “today” list excluding me (mostly family or shared stuff). With stacks, you can use the same screen real estate which is nice! I’m pairing Apple Notes with the Bullet Journal style of daily logging which has worked out great so far!

man you make the content i was looking for.

im in the process of switching completely to apple and i used to be an apple user back in 2010s but a lot has changed and now, to get an overview, i find your videos very helpful.

Coming from android, I can see how Apps such as Notes can compliment the iOS ecosystem seamlessly. For me, the ease of use and ux make transitions whilst capturing, viewing or sharing information without hindrance, allowing me to get back to the things I want to do.

This is the video I have been looking for! Thanks a lot for simplifying the productivity in the Mac environment.

[QuintonHollinger]

I’m 1 minute in and can already tell this is going to be a good vid. Same here, i figured out how to optimize the apple 1st party app rather then deal with subscription’s and other bullshit from 3rd parties

[mr_red]

I wish Reminders could sync to Apple Calendar so I can see a timed task in one place without having to switch between apps to see what I should be doing.

Fantastical seems to be the only one I’ve seen do this.

[drunemeton]

What an awesome video! Thanks for showing how to tie these things together.

[respectks]

The Kanban view is something I never knew! That is really cool.

[Airship]

Great video Brandon. The two biggest items on my Apple Productivity wish list are 1) The ability to link Apple Notes to Calendar events, and 2) The ability to set Reminders recurrences based on completion of the current item.

The personalized aspect to your presentation makes the material more engaging and accessible. Thanks!
