You may have seen my other blog on helpful hacks (when it’s published) but this one is aimed at my fellow Apple lovers out there. Plus a few general hacks to help your productivity.
The idea is to make time to work less & create more – growth, freedom, PLAY!
My team and I actively use almost all of these every day.
Why iOS hacks you may wonder? Well, did you know I worked at Apple for years? I picked up all sorts of helpful tips & tricks along the way.
Okay, here we go!
The basics…
- iCloud – if there’s ever been something you need to implement, it’s iCloud! I know that while I’m traveling, if anything were to happen to my laptop or phone, I have a backup. I can buy a new device and have EVERYTHING on there – online is the way to go.
- Airdrop – almost immediate with no loss of quality & the easiest way to share photos and files between your own devices and between people.
- Reminder app – the best way to keep an eye on your personal, work, shared to-do’s. Don’t spend time trying to remember what you need to do, write it down then and there.
- Notes app – easy, quick, and simple. Shared between your devices & can be collaborative with others. Take notes, remember what’s happening, remind yourself, and make your life easier.
- Preview signing – my team was genuinely mind blown when I showed them this hack. Say goodbye to Adobe Acrobat! Simply open your document > Tools > Annotate > Signature > Done.
General hacks that will save you time & energy…
- Create templates – emails, content, assets, articles, marketing…EVERYTHING. If you do it more than once, you should always have a copy-able template.
- Naming conventions – implement standard ways to name documents so they always follow the same structure, and become easy to find.
- Time blocking – this is not meant to be rigid but rather accountability to that time. Outline your priorities and see where it makes sense to fit them in – add some creativity in between admin and more brain-taxing tasks to keep things fresh.
The point isn’t to complicate your life, but to simplify it. These hacks may take a little implementation and getting used to, but once they’re in place, I guarantee they’ll make your life easier.
