Hello friends!! I am so so excited to share my iPad setup- perfectly optimized for my life as a person, student, and a budding content creator. After spending all this time pimping out my iPad, I have been using it 24/7 (ɔˆ ³(ˆᴗˆ✿c) I hope you get some inspiration on how to design you own iPad and how to use different widgets and shortcuts to maximize its functionality!

Props for being a med student, video maker, doing graphic design on the side and establishing passive income at your age. 👏 Got to praise all the effort and such great presentation skills 😎

Finally…a video that SLOWLY shows step-by-step the process of adding new home pages, new shortcuts and focus modes!!! All others I’ve seen don’t take the time to allow the viewer to really watch the process. THANK YOU!!! New subscriber!

*tips from when i was setting this up myself:*

1) for the study/home etc focus modes, I found that if i made a ‘home’ focus mode there wasn’t a way to allow all notifications which i wanted in home mode, so instead of making the shortcut turn on a Home focus mode, I set the shortcut to “Switch Between Wallpapers” and “Set Focus - Turn Study Off”. it essentially does the exact same, just allows notifications to come through when in home mode.

2) instead of having to create albums of one photo that you want as a widget, Widgetsmith is free and lets you upload a singular photo. it also has date and time widgets and a bunch of other customisation options (not sponsored lmao)

3) for whatever reason, when I'm adding the photos for shortcuts on my home screen, if i have my iPad in landscape orientation it distorts the image (weird), so if you have the same issue just make sure you're holding your iPad in Portrait orientation (so the camera is at the top) when you're choosing the icon image.

4) Personally, i don’t like the look of app folders on my home screen so i found a way to hide folders behind any image u like, making it look like another custom icon! might be hard to explain in a comment but ill try.
- in the Shortcuts app, add new shortcut, click where it says search for apps and actions, type in Choose from Menu
- Where you see the red minus symbols next to “One” and “Two” replace one and two with the names of the apps you want in the folder. if you want more than 2 apps click add new item and add 󠀀as many as u want.
- Now underneath the top big Choose from Menu bubble there will be more bubbles with the app names you entered above. Look back at the sidebar from which you added the original Choose from Menu bubble, and instead this time find Open App (should be in suggested actions, if it’s not click scripting and it'll be at the top), and click it once for each app you’re including in the folder. E.g if you’re making a folder with 4 apps, click it 4 times.
- The Open App bubbles will have been added to the bottom of the ‘bubble list’ (excuse the terms im using) where you can hold and drag each one under the app name bubbles you made earlier. Then on each one click App and select the app you’ve put the bubble under.
- For example your ‘bubble list’ should look like this if you were to make a folder with goodnotes, google drive, and outlook

> Choose from Menu with Prompt
- Goodnotes
- Google Drive
- Outlook
+ Add new Item

> Goodnotes
> Open Goodnotes

> Google Drive
> Open Google Drive

> Outlook
> Open Outlook

> End Menu

- Once that’s all done, in the top left where you see a shortcuts symbol and a greyed out ‘choose from menu’, click that, click rename and name it to what you want your folder called. Then click it again, click add to home screen, click the icon next to the folder name and replace it with whatever photo you’d like, then press add.
- Now on your home screen when you click the icon it’ll bring up a menu from which you can choose an app from the folder !!

20:13 the focus mode setup is so helpful i can’t wait to test it out next semester!!

[jamessolacito]

This tutorial feels just like a friend teaching you. I’ve never ever gotten that vibe from a tutorial before. Subscribed!

[leahmarie]

the focus setting is a game changer fr! i didn’t even know you could do it before watching this video and it’s insane

[shaylamariah]

You're a godsend! I have struggled for years to understand widgets and it made me so overwhelmed I stopped caring to learn how. You make this so easy, thank you!

[apeekofomar]

You’ve earned a subscriber! I can see how much effort you put in your videos and how much you really enjoy doing it. Lovee the video.

[danielleharthurs]

wow, I just impulsively bought an ipad today and clicked this video to watch. The first two minutes and you have notes written about achalasia (a very rare esophagus disorder, extremely painful) and I got diagnosed with it back in 2020. I'm so glad that a video used to help others with an ipad was also able to spread awareness about this disease!! thank you!

[Cristallito]

Law student here and I want to say thanks so much for actually showing how to set up focus modes! Your video was Super helpful.

[mariay]

I have had my iPad for about half a year now and wanted to get better at note taking and just getting better at using my iPad for school and home. Every video I watched before watching this one was mainly talking about “hacks and tricks” about the iPad or in a certain app or so. This video is actually really helpful and informative for people who needed opinions about note taking apps and what to use for studying even also with how she goes into depths with the tutorials at the end. I really appreciated and enjoyed how helpful this video is. Thank you ❤

Tip from an avid iPad user: PLEEEEASE do NOT waste your money on the paper-like iPad cover!!!! I got one as an artist and it felt NOTHING (and I mean nothing) like paper. It was still pretty smooth, and just made my iPad feel like it was… Dirty? I don’t even know how to explain it. The “Bootleg” one that Sab Yang got is the exact same one that I got, and it was a breath of fresh air compared to the paper-like cover. So I beg of you, please don’t waste your money!

[texassweetgrl]

I love how softly you explain things. I almost stopped trying to figure out Notion when I found your videos. Those really popular guys' videos are so quick fast and sometimes aggressive toned and I cant even with them. Then your lovely self makes an ipad setup vudeo when I've just gotten my first ipad.
Thank you so much Sab, you are SO appreciated. 💖💖💖

[yelenaKolva]

Omg you're so put together for how you look! Love your content!!

[juwonnabemine]

Hi Sab! I first stumbled across your channel while looking for Notion tutorials. I'm so glad I came across yours! It's so relatable especially since I'm also a college student. You're eloquent and well-spoken and you make it quite entertaining to watch your videos. It's impressive that you're able to upload these videos while being a full-time med student. Wishing you the best!

[junaliganga]

I wonder why this video isn't 1M views or more yet. Not only is this informative (only knew of focus modes just now, thanks to you!), it is also the most thorough tutorial I have ever seen. Apple should pay you for this because it has certainly made people (including me) want to get an iPad lmao

[bosiefoobar]

oh boy i never knew about that shortcut/multiple screens thing. brilliant, thank you. your icons look so much better on my ipad than the original ones

[silkenangel]

I never knew about the different modes/multiple screens. I also have a bad habit of getting distracted when I’m trying to work so this will be very useful. I can’t wait to implement this feature next semester. Thank you so much! :)

You’ve described me in 20 seconds… even though I’m not a student anymore, I got a feeling it would help me get grip of my routines in an organized way… hold on, let me get my old ipad (not compatible with the pencil) to watch while I do whatever is is you’re telling us to do.

[ElviraEmberLeaf]

THE AMOUNT OF TIME IVE LOOKED FOR A VIDEO THAT SHOWS A SLOW STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL ON HOW TO MAKE THE CHANGING FOCUS MODES ❤❤ THANK YOU SO MUCH SAB
