A list of the kit I use to make this channel all in one place:

BETTER CREATING
My name is Simon, and I'm finding ways to simplify productivity & creative life.
Exploring productivity, simple living and creative life, the Better Creating YouTube Channel is my project to build a toolkit to help creative people (including me) create more meaningful work, create better content, and live more intentional stress-free lives in the process. Other than doing this, I work as a freelance creative in theatre and film, creating productions.

As a college student, the iPad is a studying machine. Sorting through notes/slides with the ability to write/highlight on pdf and docs is way more useful than a laptop tbh.

Power up Todoist by syncing it to gcal and sending those notes to Evernote with IFTTT.

My workflow is “quick thoughts or ideas go in Todoist, it gets synced to Evernote.

Evernote is fully featured and I could just use that, but I also have IFTTT to sync notes I tag as “work” in Evernote get sent to OmniFocus 3, because I like it better for work tasks.

Evernote is my life organizer and OmniFocus is my work organizer.

Recently graduated in December I had an iPad Pro 10.5 and now M1 11” and it changed the way I took notes, completed hw and studied. Well worth it

Simon, have they caught on to the fact that you are a *very* effective communicator, yet? I am hoping you are being sponsored left and right because your demonstrations make everything you feature look like I have to have it...yesterday! I'm not even a Mac person (I've studiously avoided becoming one), but I'm thinking now (all your fault) that maybe I need an iPad. Also, I really appreciate your commitment to production values. Thanks for another informative and entertaining video.

[PatrickRambles]

Hey man, first video of yours I've seen. Excellent stuff 👌

[TrevorAndersen]

I’ve been using liquid text for note taking/highlighting. How does that compare to some of these other apps?

[r.deeblanche]

Thanks very much for this. My iPad Pro 12.9 is my go to device even while owning an Alienware laptop for gaming and a new Dell laptop for work. Still, I know I’m only scratching the surface of my IPad. Looking forward to some downtime to listen carefully to this.

FilmicPro and Lumifusion are great combination for shooting, editing and uploading video all on the same platform. I started doing that on my 1080p iPad3 with iMovie back in 2012 and was blown away by the quality of the video, automatic control of the color balance and even the sound with just the built in mic. Audience response to videos was so much better compared to the still photos I would shoot, painstakingly edit in Photoshop and post on my web site I pretty much stopped using my Canon DSRL gear and my iMac. In 2018 upgraded an iPadPro3 with Lumifusion and FilmicPro. I also bought a GoPro Hero7 Black but found it far more work to transfer and color grade. After upgrading to an iPhoneXr for shooting on the go I shelved the GoPro and conveniently Airdrop files shot on phone to iPad for editing using Airdrop.

Great! Thanks! I only have a problem with one app and that is Shortform. I already don’t agree w ‘most’ subscription models but the yearly cost is absurd and customer service was a nightmare. It’s a good app so maybe if one doesn’t mind handing over that much money for summaries instead of reading the books and they have money to burn then go for it but beware they customer service is not just bad but obnoxious. Thanks again for the video!

By the way, love your little intruder kitty. My kitty, Sasha loves to try and squeeze between me and my iPad 8th Gen while trying to appear nonchalant about what she’s doing!

[SteveHearn]

Great video! Procreate is my fav app as I am a creative professional but I also love the Apple Calendar app!

[Kissyourweb]

Just subscribed and I’ll be checking out your Notion templates… I’m a HUGE Notion fan. Thanks for creating this great channel…

[ProspectivePlans]

I need all of these productivity apps! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser

[sharingmatters]

I have just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed immediately. I like your enthusiasm and the pace of your videos!

[randylilko]

GoodReader is the best app I have ever used on the iPad Pro. Great for large pdf collections and has all the tools for connectivity and annotation. It should be standard on all iPads.

[I_was_a_Bullfrog]

Recently bought an ipad 9th gen for CozyBlanket and Procreate. Both are great for 3D artists. I've always been big on Android, but both of these apps are hard to resist
