I been rocking reminders, calendar and notes super crazy the past 3 years and it has changed my life and productivity and accomplishing tasks. A huge side note that helps is to purge and clean out what notifications you receive on your phone and when. The notification summary is a god send for things you wanna see but don’t care too much about, and turning off all the countless little dings and buzzes, only grabbing your attention on important notifications.

Miles!!! You've just gained a subscriber!!! I have ADHD so I've been trying all sorts of apps to help me manage my time & productivity.. e.g. Notion, Upbase, Sunsama, etc. but I've always felt the reason I was unable to commit to them was because it did not sync as well as I would have liked it to with the Apple Ecosystem... came across your video on a whim and bookmarked to watch it later and you explain things so clearly with useful examples and practical application tips... this video is such a gem... I've sat at the cafe for about 2 hours now just listening to your video and organising a system that would work well for me... can't wait to dig into your other videos!!! God bless!!!

thanks for making me realize i need to set up a productivity system 😭😭

Great video... I do always wonder do people actually do this micromanaging of their life? Like do you really need to add gym and dinner and these type of routine things into daily schedule? Don't get me wrong, I work on a manager position where work often bleeds into my private life off the clock and all... but I feel like I would spend more time tweaking this and adding/removing stuff. Also there are bunch of things that come up during the day that are not in the schedule, it feels more of a complication than a solution to me... but again maybe that's just me. I do use loads of reminders and calendar events, both on private and company phone, but I can't see how it would be possible for me to fill whole days in advance with one thing after another and trying to keep up with it.

This is probably the best video I have watched on this topic... Thanks!

I really wish that Apple allowed you to sync the Calendar or Reminder Alert to Alarms versus notifications.

Amazing walkthrough, especially the detailed explanation on time blocking with Apple's ecosystem! 🍏
It's crazy how these updates have leveled up the classic apps.
Has anyone else tried syncing their entire productivity workflow into Apple apps? Curious to see if you've noticed a big difference too!

Miles!! Your video caught my eye haha, as I switched everything from Android and went fully into Apple's ecosystem, this is helpful.
So happy to see your channel doing well by the way!! :)

suggestion: You might want to not back one time block against another time block and have a 15 min time transition break

I’ve been trying to figure out how I can utilize Apples free apps to create a whole system for my life. I was tired of all these different paid apps. Thank you for this, helps a lot!

Also interested in knowing that Reminders keyboard shortcut. Thanks!

[allayakovenko]

Can't wait for this update, it would allow to manage the calendar more easily 🙌 and thanks for the tips

[rikstregnerus]

Thank you so much for making this video! Wish you all the best with your Youtube career :)!

Trying to figure out how you added.a shortcut key to add a new reminder, mind telling me how you did that? Thanks.

Thank you for inspiring me to finally give up Outlook!

The best productivity hack is to outsource. Just invest the $100-200 per month to have a Virtual Assistance take on a bookkeeping, editing, data scraping, anything that can be done online task. You only have so much time in the day before you start compromising health.

The calender is not really possible with my job. I work in IT and often cannot tell how long I have to work. And when the Server dont work I cannot say sorry I have gym now on the calender 😂

[trent.langley]

Okay, I like the idea of having the calendar set up this way BUT I hate that when i try to use Siri to add a ‘calendar event’ it says, “you already have x scheduled.. would you like to me schedule it anyway”….

Minor annoyance but can you make it stop? Lol

[gailarmstrong]

I’ve been wanting to do all this for years but it always seemed to be clunky. IOS18 and other updates on the way will hopefully make it all fit much better now. Thank you, have subscribed.
