Managing two YouTube channels on top of a busy life filled with projects and hobbies may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and systems in place, it can be a seamless process. In this blog post, I will share how I manage all of this using strictly Apple software across my main three devices: my Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
First and foremost, let’s talk about the tools of the trade. My iPhone 15 Pro is like my second brain, always with me and allowing for immediate action on the go. My iPad Pro serves as my daily planner, while my M1 Max studio is the hub for all of my work, ensuring everything is centrally backed up.
When it comes to capturing information, I rely on Apple reminders for my to-do lists and tasks. I also use the Notes app for longer-form content and quick notes. The continuity features built into the operating systems of my devices allow for seamless transitions between devices, making it easy to pick up where I left off.
In terms of organization, I utilize pinned notes in the Notes app for easy access to important information. I also use hashtags and tagging for easy access to specific content. In calendars, my wife and I have color-coded calendars for different aspects of our lives, making it easy to plan our weeks.
Finally, when it comes to taking action, I enable focus mode to avoid distractions and use the Pomodoro Technique to work in short sprints with breaks in between. Widgets on my devices, such as the reminders widget, help me stay organized and on track with my tasks.
Overall, utilizing Apple software and hardware has been a game-changer for managing my busy life and multiple YouTube channels. The ease of use and seamless integration between devices have saved me time and allowed me to focus on what matters most. If you’re looking to improve your productivity within the Apple ecosystem, give some of these tips a try and see how they can help streamline your workflow.
