How I Setup My iPhone - So It Doesn't Ruin My Life... 

Hey guys, I made a step by step tutorial here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J1kvuv9wEb0.html

at the end of the day, its just a phone,you the user is the superior being. Technology doesn’t control us, we just have little control over ourselves

Can you create a tutorial on how to setup everything like you did?

6:50 .... Just pure gold, never thought about alarms that way. It definitely makes more sense, alarm to go to sleep, wake up naturally 🙏

Best video I've seen out of all "productivity" iPhone videos by far. Simple and straightforward. Gave me some great ideas. Thank you and keep up the great work!

the color background for each space/focus mode is such a great idea!

I might try adopting this method of restricting phone distractions. Thanks for the video!

Stunningly presented video! Really helpful productivity tips, I especially love the bit about adding friction to things we want to do less. Thank you!

focus modes have helped me also. your focus shortcut is very intuitive

Thanks for sharing. I love the style of this and didn’t know about focus modes to this extent. Will try this out. I’ve had my phone permanently on DNS for over a year now and have loved it. No ringing or buzzing to distract me

wow looks like the perfect setup! its a bit hard for me since i work w social media but the “alarm to sleep instead of alarm to wake up” thing is something i’ll be trying 😮 it makes so much sensee..

Since graduating at UW, I am still a loyal Blackberry user. With the disconnect of the Blackberry server, I am still able to use the Blackberry Passport. It has no social media, no games, and no addition apps other than the default that originally came with. A year N half later after the disconnect, I continue to use it for calls, SMS text, emails, contacts, notes, and calendar. Basically, it’s just productivity. I recently bought an Android device but still haven’t really set it up yet. There are just too many things going on that device and I don’t want to get lost into a sea of apps and time consuming of looking onto a glass screen. I like the hard keyboard and minimalism of the Blackberry devices. 🙂

I really like your videos! Objective, down to Earth, informative and easy to listen to.

Thank you for sharing this. I hope to try this mode on. Need to see how to organize it!

I don't know who you are, but I like the smile on your face. Clearly like what you are doing, and it's nice to see.

Best one I've seen until now. Really great!

Awesome sharing, I definitely underutilize my iPhone features for working mode. Good to see other people showing their setups from time to time. Other than using an app for writing daily “journal”before bedtime, I don’t have anything else specific to share yet, maybe in the future. Thanks Tim!

This is amazing info, and you are adorable. It's going to take me a week to digest this video and to apply it, but I am desperate for a healthy home-work life balance. Thank you!

One big tip to do to help you when you are NOT in focus mode is to turn off notifications in settings on (almost all) apps that are distracting.

I’ve got a lot to learn. Thanks for this video. I’m so green I can’t even figure out how you have the 4 focus mode shortcuts at the top….

Relatable and helpful. Thank you Tim!

Your voice and aura is very calming

This inspired me to change my phone setup, Thanks!

I hope you create a video on how you set up the four focus mode - chill work drive fitness.

I really enjoyed the video! Got my creative juices flowing! Thanks

Great video with great ideas that I’ll surely take in consideration. Thanks for making it!

I like this productivity video. It's a nice change from your online business videos but it's still relevant to entrepreneurs. Keep it up!

yep! this is my turning point. thank you for thisss.

I definately recommed the Huberman Lab podcast - it incredibly informative on so many aspects of one's life with health and body related topics. It's hosted by Andrew Huberman who is a nuerology professor at stanford and all the information is incredibly useful and backed in science. He also frequently has guests on the podcast that are experts in the respective topic. 10/10 podcast, it's what got me into podcasts actually

The shortcuts idea is really good can you do a tutorial on how to set it up ?

Great video! Can you please share the shortcuts to change the focus modes? I really liked it.

Loooove how you organized your phone 🙌🏻

I have never used focus modes on my iPhone but after watching this I really liked your focus setup with the Shortcuts widget. Decided to set mine up that way as well. Gonna give it a try and see how I like it! I like the idea of a dynamically changing homescreen.

Is there a guide for those shortcuts to modify the Home Screen?

Thanks for the video, really helpful, I’ll apply it to my way

I changed my entire phone when the focus modes came out! It’s been awesome. You can also change into focus modes when your phone is at a specific location 😮

Where did you find you Lock Screen wallpaper? Do you have a link?

How do you set up those shortcuts that change your focus?

The feedback loop with 4ra is amazing, they actually listen and improve! 📣👂

Most important thing for focussing: Do something you like or love. Learn stuff you love, work on stuff you love. You shouldn't have problems.

I tried this set-up and it is really helpful! Thanks for sharing this :)

I love how you have done the short cuts bit…is there a video I can use to do it for myself because I’m not very good with this sort of thing. And want to try pull my life together by getting of social media a bit more

Love the setup, Can you share how you use things 3?

Hi Tim, Can you make a video about ur frugal living? Or about book review that have good impact on ur live? I'm really inspired by your channel. Hope you can always share with us about ur life hacks development. Thanks Tim

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us. I find it almost impossible to get much done every day, between distractions and social media overtaking my brain. I am going to set these up right now! One question - You said you start sleep mode at 9pm. Can you give us an idea of the rest of your day, hour wise? I have GOT to do something to get a grip on my productivity, so I'm just curious as to how many hours you dedicate to different things! Thank you! ^.^

can you share your shortcut templates? im having a hard time recreating those :)

Very cool. I love these ideas, but I just cant wittle down my apps to that few. I have gone down to 1 screen which is very nice though.

Excellent video man! I’m going to nerd out and implement these as well. Thanks so much for putting this video together. I recently created an ‘accessibility shortcut’; triple tapping my power button to turn the entire screen grayscale. It makes the phone surprisingly less enticing! Side note - just started (finally) reading Atomic Habits today! I’ve definitely found compounding habits to be a total game-changer in my life 🔥

Hey :) Great and inspiring video! I struggle with the same issue a lot of times. Can you make a video about how you set up those focus-shortcuts? that would be so helpful

I have my phone set up to do not disturb at all times with all notifications silenced. Important people can get through and everyone else can wait for me to call them back or respond to their messages. I do this twice per day. I check my emails once per day. Life has never been better.

7:45 Awesome video! I’m intrigued by the Notion vs Obsidian idea. I would like to see the differences from a user perspective. This leaves me wondering…is Notion safe? When you talked about privacy in Obsidian, I’m thinking Notion isn’t safe?

Can you do a tutorial on how to do that?

I want to try that. can you recommend a good tutorial for how to set this up?

amazing video! thank you for creating

Great case on your iPhone, ...what brand is it?

Is there a video on how to create those short cuts?

Wallpaper here: 4kwallpapers.com/nature/green-forest-trees-aerial-view-body-of-water-turquoise-5002.html

Can you do a tutorial on how to have apps for specific focuses? I think it's a great idea to keep the homescreen minimal but I'm unsure on how to do it haha

Big Thanks for sharing a pro way to improve productivity, however can you share your iphone,s wallpaper its awesome I love this a lot.

You'd love Accidental Tech Podcast. It features Marco Arment, the developer of Overcast.

step 1- buy an iPhone

What do you do about the app drawer ?

cool Tim thanks

how are you setting up the pages ?? I cant get them to stay the way I create them ! They keep changing and its bothering me so much lol

I just delete the social apps and download them every 2 weeks or so on a lazy day

Great video! If you could make another trying to do it with the Samsung routines app it would definitely help more people.

Hi Tim, just want to thank you again for your videos. I made my 4th sale on Etsy. I still have long ways to go. Oh l reached out to family & friends to buy my products. That was such a good idea. Thanks again!

Thank you for this video!

Love this video - I want to utilize the focus modes like you have. I've been playing around with it and I am struggling to figure out how to set up that Siri suggestion bar you have on top, to switch between the modes. How do I do it?

This channel reminds me of Matt D'Avella's! Awesome!

any suggestions of apps with focus mode for android users?

Hi. How did you manage to disappear all icons on sleep mode?

Can you make a video on how you set up your shortcuts

how about app library? It still there, right.. How do you deal with it? Appreciate it before you answer.

I want the background he when his phone is in chill mode

Can you please do a tutorial for the focuses

Perfect thanks for sharing👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

great ideas! thank you!

how do you make a shortcut taking you to each filter?

Love the home screen with all your focuses on, can anyone tell me how to get that? i've been looking but can't seem to figure it out

Thanks for another great video.

How do you create series shortcuts?

How do you put the focuses on your homescreen?

How can I create those Siri Shortcuts to change different focus modes???

love it but i dont know how to set it up would u pls gv tutorial

Hey! How have you done shortcuts with different homescreens? Can you provide some guide? 😊

Always a fair game with 4ra, they really know how to treat bettors right 🎮👌

How did you set up the focus widget?

How do you add the Focus widget to your home screen like that? I’ve been trying to do that for a while now Any direction would be incredibly helpful!

first minute in and i already know this is gonna be a banger

Tried to set this up but I can't get the shortcuts to work properly. Clicking on one focus shortcut is fine and changes my home screen. However, when I click on another focus shortcut it changes to that home sceen but the previous focus home screen is also accessible if I swipe left.

I knew I recognized this iPhone layout very CGP Grey-esque

Really great tips!

Genius idea, took me a while to set up with all these apps but this work/fitness etc switcher is really useful

go out of home with the battery charged to half, works as well.

Awesome video I am going to do something similar to my phone

how can I use shortcuts to set the homepage of the Iphone?

Great video, but it is weird not to have apps like Phone or WhatsApp or News

Imaginary Worlds by Eric Molinsky is a great podcast for chilling and its really interesting too.

you should go more in dept on how you actually customized your phone
