Key Wellness and Productivity Strategies from the Video
Integrate Apple Calendar and Reminders to Beat Procrastination
- Use your calendar to block out time for different categories of work (e.g., meetings, project work, writing, admin, communication).
- Ensure calendar blocks reflect your real work schedule and priorities to avoid wasting time.
Organize Tasks with Matching Tags in Reminders
- Create tags in Reminders that correspond exactly to your calendar categories (e.g., Projects, Writing, Admin, Communication).
- This alignment ensures your reminders reflect your scheduled work blocks.
Use Smart Lists in Reminders for Focused Task Management
- Create smart lists filtered by tags and set for “Today” to show only relevant tasks for each work category.
- Include overdue tasks in these smart lists to keep track of unfinished work.
- Set smart list filters to “all” to capture every tagged task.
Group Smart Lists into Folders for Easy Access
- Create groups/folders in Reminders to organize your smart lists by work category.
- This provides a clear overview of all critical tasks for the day in one place.
Leverage Notes Integration for Project Details
- Link detailed project notes to specific reminders using URLs instead of pasting notes directly.
- On iPad, drag notes into Reminders; on Mac, use the share sheet to generate a collaborative link.
- Paste the link into the URL field of the reminder for a clean, accessible reference.
Benefits of This System
- Keeps you focused on the right tasks at the right time.
- Prevents distraction by showing only relevant tasks during each work block.
- Helps manage overdue tasks without losing track.
- Creates a seamless workflow within Apple’s productivity ecosystem.
