While our definitions of success may vary, we all want to make the most of the hours we have on hand. Luckily, for Mac and iPhone Pro owners, there are a few tweaks that can take your productivity game to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ve played around plenty to figure out these hacks before we pass them on to you. Whether new to the Apple ecosystem or well-acquainted, we hope there\u2019s something everyone can benefit from, from the list of tips below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-prioritize-what-s-important-with-focus-mode\">1. Prioritize what\u2019s important with Focus Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you acknowledge it or not, almost everyone\u2019s been a victim of mindless scrolling at one point or another. You\u2019re well into your flow of working, and you pick up your phone and think \u201cwell, let me reward myself with just 5 minutes of Instagram\u201d, and boom half an hour goes by and you\u2019re still scrolling reels. Not only does it get difficult to resume your focus on work, but your break doesn\u2019t feel refreshing as it should\u2019ve felt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the solution? Remove your access to these applications altogether during your work hours with Focus Mode.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On your <strong>iPhone<\/strong>, go to <strong>Settings &gt; Focus Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On your <strong>Mac<\/strong>, go to <strong>Apple Menu > System Settings<\/strong>, and then find <strong>Focus mode<\/strong> in the sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip: In all devices, the mode is represented by a violet square icon with a crescent moon on top.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you find Focus Mode, you can find or create a custom \u201cwork\u201d profile where all distracting apps will be hidden for a set period. You can customize your iPhone home screen, who is allowed to call you during that time, what app notifications are allowed to pop up and so much more. You can schedule this \u201cwork\u201d mode at a certain time, for example, 9 to 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can also set up \u201cSmart Activation\u201d, which will trigger the mode to turn on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>when you open a particular application (e.g. Books)<\/li><li>when your phone is in a certain location (you enter your workplace)<\/li><li>or when you choose certain days for it to function (e.g all days except weekends)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Focus-Mode-Screenshot.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Focus-Mode-Screenshot.jpeg 473w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Focus-Mode-Screenshot-123x120.jpeg 123w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Focus-Mode-Screenshot-284x277.jpeg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Focus-Mode-Screenshot-190x186.jpeg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Focus-Mode-Screenshot-123x120@2x.jpeg 246w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Focus-Mode-Screenshot-190x186@2x.jpeg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t just a great way to maximize your work hours but get the most out of all areas of your life. For instance, you can customize a \u201csleep mode\u201d that\u2019ll dull your screen brightness, silence your calls and limit your access to certain stressful apps, a couple of hours before your bedtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, with the help of customized focus modes, your apple devices can help you conquer many aspects of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Convert images to another format right from the Finder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When working with a team, you\u2019ll find yourself sending and receiving many files over. Most times, these are drafts-in-progress that require the collaboration of several individuals. And it\u2019s a real bummer when a certain file won\u2019t go through due to limitations of size or format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your team has deadlines to meet, working under pressure, and here you are downloading third-party apps to get a certain draft of your work visible to your colleague. Frustrating right? We get it. But did you know, you can convert most images right from your finder?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ctrl + Click <\/strong>on the image you\u2019d like to convert, select <strong>Quick Action<\/strong>, and then <strong>Convert Image.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>dialogue box <\/strong>will pop up where you can choose from a variety of formats (JPEG, PNG, HEIF) and the size of the finished conversion (small, medium, large, or original). You can check the box to retain the original metadata (if you\u2019d like to) and hit<strong> Convert<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A newly converted image will be saved in the same location as the original image, without altering the original image either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Save Text for later with Text Clippings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lesser-known feature that\u2019s been around since Mac OS 9, is the Text Clipping feature. This feature allows you to save the text you come across and utilize it in another application or document later. All you have to do is select the text you\u2019re keen on saving for later and drag it onto your desktop or finder window. macOS then saves the text as an independent file that ends with <strong>.text clipping<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t just a great tool to quickly save any important bits of information. You can also save any unique quotes and literary pieces you\u2019d like to keep coming back to later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Replicate photo edits in the Photos app<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one will come in handy for graphic designers, content creators, or anyone who utilizes basic editing from their desktops. If you\u2019ve ever used photo-editing apps such as Adobe Lightroom, you\u2019re aware of the \u201cpreset\u201d functions that they have. The preset feature allows one to save the edits done on a particular image such as tweaks in saturation, vibrance, white balance, etc., and then use it on another image. This way, you save time editing all the different pictures that require the same edits. Did you know that a similar feature is available on your Mac Photos app? Here\u2019s how to access it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re done making your edits to a particular image in photos, click on the <strong>menu bar<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Image<\/strong> and then <strong>Copy edits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, open the image where you\u2019d like to apply the same edits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then again, select <strong>Image<\/strong>, and then <strong>Paste Edits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can repeat this for as many pictures as you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-automate-repeated-tasks-with-shortcuts-app\">5. Automate repeated tasks with Shortcuts App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-284x213.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-190x143.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-160x120@2x.jpg 320w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-284x213@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shortcuts-Iphone-190x143@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Photo by Brett Jordan, Pexels<\/strong>\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you find yourself doing certain things on the regular? Maybe it\u2019s the Pomodoro technique that you use to focus (25 mins work + 5 minutes break). It could also be something like texting your significant other that you\u2019re on your way home so they can tell you if anything needs to be picked up from the grocery store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever it may be, there\u2019s probably a Siri Shortcut for it. If there isn\u2019t, you can create one. Just search for the <strong>Shortcuts app <\/strong>on your phone, and learn about all the different shortcuts, that are mostly triggered by voice commands. All you have to do is select the particular shortcut which you\u2019d like to activate, and whenever you use the voice command for it, the action will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to jump into the awesome <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/82437-getting-started-with-ios-shortcuts-and-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shortcuts app, be sure to check out our full guide to getting started right here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Work or Fall Asleep to iPhone\u2019s white noise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re somebody who finds it hard to work or fall asleep to silence, you appreciate white noise when you get some. Did you know, that your iPhone has an assortment of white noise that you can easily tap into? Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open up your <strong>iPhone\u2019s Settings &gt; Accessibility &gt; Audio\/Visual<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, look for <strong>Background Sounds,<\/strong> and turn them <strong>ON<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have toggled the <strong>Background Sounds ON<\/strong>, look for <strong>Sounds<\/strong> on the same page.<strong> <\/strong>Here you will find a variety of white noises such as streams, rain, and ocean. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Why type it, when you can just speak it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leverage iPhone&#8217;s dictation tools when you can. This is especially useful for people who are convinced that they <em>think<\/em>, way faster than they <em>type<\/em>. Sure, there will be a few mistakes here or there. But, brainstorming everything important on paper, and sitting down to edit the document later is still probably the faster option than typing it up alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you have to do is open a writing app such as Microsoft Word and then look for the microphone icon on your keyboard. Just touch down on that, and start dictating away. You\u2019ll have to learn a few of the iPhone\u2019s commands but it\u2019s not rocket science. We have some of the most used ones here for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Command<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>The Action the device will perform<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New Line<\/td><td>Start from a fresh line<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Space bar<\/td><td>Insert space<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No Space<\/td><td>No Space between the two words<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New Paragraph<\/td><td>Starts a new paragraph<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cap<\/td><td>Capitalize the next word you\u2019re about to speak<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Caps ON + Caps OFF<\/td><td>Capitalize the next text<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>All Caps<\/td><td>Makes entire next word upper case<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>All Caps ON + All Caps OFF<\/td><td>Makes next text section upper case until commanded All Caps OFF<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No Caps<\/td><td>Makes next word in lowercase<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No Caps ON + No Caps OFF<\/td><td>Makes upcoming text section in lowercase unless commanded No Caps OFF<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Period\/ Full Stop<\/td><td>Placed a full stop next to the last word spoken<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ellipsis \/ Dot Dot Dot<\/td><td>Places \u2026<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot more dictation commands on the iPhone, these are just the most used ones. If you tend to use more special characters in your documents, feel free to look them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Organize your notifications so you never miss an important one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This trick may seem troublesome to set up at first, but is a game-changer for people who constantly miss out on important emails and notifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, whenever you hear an alert sound and check your phone \u2013 it\u2019s a food delivery app reminding you it\u2019s lunchtime, insisting you order some take-out. You <em>know<\/em> it\u2019s lunchtime, your stomach tells you that. So, suppose you want to keep such nuisance notifications <em>off<\/em>, and important notifications <em>on. <\/em>In this case, here\u2019s how you can do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open up <strong>Settings<\/strong> and find <strong>Notifications<\/strong>, and the set relevant permissions for each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019d want to enable badges, banners, and sounds for applications whose notifications you <em>truly <\/em>care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you\u2019d want to disable badges, banners, and sounds, for applications that aren\u2019t all that important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for applications that fall right in between, you can enable badges or banners and disable everything else. This can be done for application notifications that aren\u2019t important enough for them to have a ring and <strong>disrupt<\/strong> you but are still worth glancing at, right when you open your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Schedule when you can see your notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you\u2019re somebody who has a hard time prioritizing what notifications are important and which ones you can skip. In which case, we get it. So, this hack is an alternative to the previous one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of filtering which notifications are important, you can schedule a Notification Summary and watch them all together at a time you set in the day. How many times have you caught yourself saying something like \u201coh, I need to pay for my car registration which will expire in 2 days\u201d after looking at a notification? But in the end, you just forget to do it. But if you schedule your Notification Summary, you\u2019re going in to watch your notifications with a mindset to take action. You might as well sit down with a notebook and pen. Here\u2019s how you can schedule a Notification Summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <strong>Settings&gt; Notifications&gt; Scheduled Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under <strong>Applications<\/strong>, you can select which applications you\u2019d like to include in your summary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also <strong>add<\/strong> or<strong> remove<\/strong> a schedule, under the Schedule section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Create Text Replacements for things you type often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard about text replacements for your iPhone, but did you know you can also use the Text replacement feature on your mac? There are quite a few things that we notice ourselves typing again and again. This includes our address or that paragraph of text that helps you sign off an email. Here\u2019s how you can set a shortcut of words (e.g tmwyr) that once typed will convert to a larger string of words (text me when you reach):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For your, Mac<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to <strong>Apple Menu &gt; System Preferences &gt; Keyboard &gt;Text<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you will notice that a couple of text replacement examples are shown, and you can add your own ones using the <strong>+<\/strong> button underneath them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For your iPhone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On your phone, find and hold the Smiley <strong>button<\/strong> or the <strong>globe icon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, find <strong>Keyboard Settings &gt; Text Replacement &gt; + button<\/strong> at the top right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Type the longer phrase in the <strong>Phrase Field<\/strong> and the shortcut for it in the <strong>Shortcut Field<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it! That\u2019s how you add text replacement on your iPhone and Mac. Whichever device you add the text replacement to, the other device will automatically be synced to the same text replacements. That\u2019s the beauty of being a part of the Apple ecosystem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s get to work!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a hold of your devices is crucial to maxing out your productivity. If phone is beeping unnecessarily throughout the day, and your social media usage is untamed, your device could be <em>hurting<\/em> your productivity and focus more than it is helping. This is why it\u2019s so crucial to leverage and optimize our devices so they work for us, instead of <em>us <\/em>unconsciously being controlled by them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to supercharge your productivity?
