Are you getting the most out of your favorite apps?

Here’s an Apple Notes tip I shared on Threads and X yesterday: If you use Apple Notes to take meeting notes and you write down meeting action items using the checkbox feature, this is a really handy way to make sure you’re not dropping any balls. As you can see, this tip resonated with people. Just like another Apple Notes tip I posted recently, about how to quickly link from one note to another: Whether or not these tips are relevant for you, they do pose a question: Are you getting the most out of your favorite apps? If not, perhaps it’s time to dig into Apple Notes, Apple Reminders, OmniFocus, Things, or Todoist. And by the way, is it just me or does it feel like a transition period right now? Perhaps it’s because those of you in the US of A got to enjoy a long Memorial Day weekend last week. Or because those of you in Europe are getting close to the summer holiday season. Or maybe it’s more personal, as I’m about to head back to Europe for the summer myself. Either way, this transition from week 22 to week 23 of the year 2024 is a great time to do a little productivity tune-up with one of my video courses. 97.6% of students who left feedback on one of my courses would recommend the course to a friend—and if that’s not enough to convince you it’ll be a great use of your time, I don’t know what is! |

Tomorrow it’s Labor Day in the United States, a federal holiday. It’s the unofficial end of summer. School holidays are over and people are getting back to work. Even if you don’t live in the States, statistically speaking you probably live in the northern hemisphere. A new season is starting. A season of more work and less play. That makes this a good time to refresh some work skills. Why? Let me illustrate with one of my favorite activities: skydiving. Skydiving is an expensive sport that...
You might not want to hear this. I debated whether to tell you. But I’ve never shied away from saying it like it is. Perhaps that’s because I’m Dutch—we’re famous for being direct. Or perhaps it’s that I secretly enjoying needling people a little. Either way, I’m going to tell you. Recently, I sent out a little survey, asking people what they struggle with the most. Here’s one guy’s answer: I am so busy that whatever I do, I am still unable to do the minimum. This makes me so overwhelmed. So...
Do you badly need to organize and prioritize your very long to-do lists? Now’s the time. Why? Two reasons. First, every day that you continue to be disorganized and overwhelmed is costing you. Without prioritization and focus, you’re not moving forward. Second, the solution to this problem is about to get more expensive: I’m increasing the price of my task management courses by $50. At the new prices, it’s still a no-brainer investment. The peace of mind you’ll have from organizing your...
