Monday's With Job #12
This is the 12th week of Monday's With Job series, a simple idea I started to share every Monday. One practical productivity insight to help you work better, stay focused, and finish stronger.
This week, I want to talk about one productivity habit I wish I started earlier. What is it you might ask?
Well, it's very simple it's called the reminders app on your iphone. Instead of fully relying on your memory, you can use Reminders to help you.
We all have good intentions.
We tell ourselves:
"I'll send that email later."
"I'll call that person tomorrow."
"Need to finish up on that writing."
Sounds familiar?
Then life happens.
Urgent tasks appear, meetings interrupt us, phone calls come in, and before we know it, the important task has disappeared from our minds.
I learned that I need reminders so that I finish what I had planned to finish.
In line with that I discovered something that has already improved my productivity, the Reminders app on the iPhone.
I had always seen the app but never really used it. Recently, I learned how to use it.
Now, whenever I need to remember something, I simply hold the side button for a few seconds to activate Siri and say things like:
"Remind me tomorrow at 9 AM to call John."
or
"Remind me at 4 PM to submit my report."
Within seconds, Siri creates the reminder for me.
When the time arrives, my phone reminds me exactly when I need it.
One feature I especially appreciate is that these reminders also integrate with the Calendar app, giving me a clearer picture of my schedule and priorities.
I have previously written on Apple Calendar, you can check it out here, https://newswav.com/article/monday-s-with-job-7-the-power-of-the-calendar-A2606_fU6hCJ
I've also started using Apple Calendar and it has made coordinating appointments, deadlines, and important dates much more easier.
The more you rely on systems instead of memory, the less mental energy you waste trying not to forget things.
Productive people don't necessarily have better memories.
They simply build better systems.
If you found this helpful, share it with a friend so that it helps me to reach more people.
