    Regarding "remind me of this": You can say "remind me of this on my such-and-such list" and the reminder will be added to a specific list. I use it regularly, but it doesn't work flawlessly. For example, Siri can't seem to add things to my "calls" list. It thinks I'm asking to put it on my Kohl's list. I've practiced saying it a dozen different ways, but to no avail. Great tip regarding setting the time with the number pad in the Calendar App. Great tip about using two fingers to open a webpage in the background.

    You can create a shortcut, create reminder from url clipboard - then add tags - then add the shortcut to the share sheet. Then next time you want to save the website to your reminders app, just click the share icon, it will add the tags, and then filter to your Smart Folder as mentioned in the video.

    I may have a tricky question for you regarding productivity 😂, I use Apple notes on my iPhone , on my iPad , on my MacBook quite often , most of the time it’s for shopping lists , occasionally other stuff . One thing we people can do with just a sheet of paper or writing pad , is when we are writing a shopping list is we can pull out a bunch of our highlighting texta’s and Color a word , or a sentence or even a whole paragraph for reference later just to simply remind us of the importance of what we have made a different Color . I have tried many times to find a way to do this in apple notes , with no success. To me it seems like a basic function a notes app should have . I’d love to know your thoughts on this . Cheers .

    I’ve started using the Reminders app more after your videos on using the app. However, one thing really frustrates me - I cannot get the custom location feature to work. The button appears to be greyed out yet pressing on it gives you a dialogue box with a list of locations had a search box with a map dialogue underneath. However, there is no way to drag the pin to a custom location and choosing a pin location from the list doesn’t change anything when you go back to the reminder. It remains on any previously selected non-pin location. Is this a bug or is it me? :-) How I would like it to work is to be able to choose one of the locations from the list or drag the pin somewhere on the map and use that location for when I arrive or leave it, Thoughts?

I currently have an iPhone 13 Pro Max but the battery can’t last so long, what would you do, invest on a new battery and case for around 150$ and wait for the 17 pro or even 18 pro. Or wait for the 16 pro ? Thanks

    One thing I *wish* we could do is automatically run an automation when we change focus state. For example I have a "night time" automation that turns all the lights, etc off. and I wish I could have it automatically run when I change to the "sleep" focus mode rather than do both tasks separately. Super annoying. Or the other way round would be fine i.e. when I run the "night time" automation it sets my focus mode to "sleep". Never found a way to make it work though. Seems so obvious but seemingly not possible. Weird.

Select one, tap ""next", you can then choose "when turning on" or "when turning off" and whether or not to require confirmation. For your situation, I would make a "regular" shortcut to turn off the lights, then have the automation run that shortcut.

    Actually, for tip # 1, here is the phrasing I suggest that adds it to a specific list: "Add this to my Content Creation List". Note that I was unable to make this work with phrases like "Add this to my Video Ideas list" or "Videos list"-I suspect Siri is less certain about how to process words like "video" which might suggest another action is more appropriate... At any rate, my recommended phrasing also works to add things to whatever list you want, e.g. "Add apple juice to my grocery list".
