Love your videos consistently but this one, especially, solved a real problem for me. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one 🙂
Great video. Thanks for sharing!!
You're very welcome.
Another excellent video as always. I probably should look into Drafts. I think I tried it a while back but I don't remember. Currently I am using Apple Reminders to quickly jot down to-do items and ideas, mainly using my Apple Watch. I just say, Hey Siri remind me...and I have found it really is quick and easy, especially when I am driving.
Drafts has a built in action script for Notion. That might help with collecting.
Great video - I’ve been using apple reminders for so long now for essentially all of this. Is there benefit to using todoist and Evernote rather than reminders and apple notes?
Hi Liam, not really. Not if Apple Reminders and Notes are working well for you.
Hey Carl, mind showing your recipe to add a task to the shopping list in Todoist? I'm struggling to find an action that adds a task to a specific project. Thanks!
If you go into the Drafts actions you will see a "list in Reminders". That's the one you choose for shopping list.
@@Carl_Pullein oh right, but I'd like the equivalent for Todoist. Thanks though
Nice tip for Drafts.
You're welcome.
HI Carl, thank you so much for this - it has spurred me on to use Drafts more regularly. Can I just ask, how did you set the icon for your messages to your wife action on your keyboard to RK? I can't find a way of inserting letters. Thank you.
Hi Fiona, in the action settings, turn off "Show icon".
@@Carl_Pullein Aha - got it! Thanks so much Carl .
Hi..., do you have any idea what could be a good alternative for Adroid...?
Thank you.
Sadly, I don't think there are any. However, on Android I believe you can add a widget for most notes and task management apps.
Im going to use it. Thank you.
You're very welcome.
Hi Carl, can you do it on the Apple Watch? Do you have buttons there to send your stuff to your desired app? Thank you!
Yes you can, Charly. I have had the Drafts app on my watch complications for a number of years now. Great for when you are driving.
@@Carl_Pullein Thanks, Carl! So I guess you collect from your watch, and then you process your inbox from your iPhone to your apps. Am I right? I wish I could process my inbox directly from the watch
@@ecar20100 Normally, I collect via Drafts on my phone. When I am driving I will likely collect via my phone, but my main collecting is done from my phone and processing is generally done via my laptop.
Hi. I am sooooo frustrated. Web clipper no longer works on Safari or Chrome. It opens a small window for notes only. I tried deleting and reinstalling, watched your vid 5 times. Seems to be an across the board problem. Did they take away its use for free users? I am a writer and NEED this! I am on a mac 10.13.6 High Sierra, MacBook Pro mid 2014 15" retina. This issue occurred a few times; just about when I was going to go pro. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks
Hi Theresa, which web clipper are you having difficulty with?
Carl, i’m going to ask a silly question: why do you use drafts for this instead of clicking and open the specific app directly? Are there any advantages besides memorising only one app for the first click ? Sorry, I really didn’t grasp it, I think :)
The app is right there in the bottom right of my dock, and it's been there for nearly 8 years. Muscle memory makes this very fast. Plus, often times I will begin thinking something is a task and it turns into a note for further development. This way, as I am typing, I can change my mind about where to send something without having to come out of the app and go into another one.
@@Carl_Pullein I now get your point completely, I’ll definitely try this :) thank you Carl!
Carl: do you place tasks on your calendar or just block time to work off your list?
Individual tasks, no (unless that have to be done at a specific time of day) But I do add blocks of time for specific work such as writing time, recording time and exercise.
Hi Carl, great and useful video as usual 😀
Do you use the pro (paid version) of Drafts or the free one ?
cheers
Toni
Must be paid. Can’t create actions with free version.
It's the paid version. It's about $2.00 a month.
@@Carl_Pullein Many thanks Kyle and Carl for the feedback
I thought wow, this looks simple, then got the drafts app and Todoist is not shown in the action directory? There’s Ominfocus, Evernote and Things, no Todoist?
Here you go, Joe: actions.getdrafts.com/a/1MV
Open that on your mobile device.
@@Carl_Pullein Thank you!
Didn't know Drafts was this powerful and just a "starting place" for text. I'm intrigued. I already use Hazel/automator for a lot of things on my computer. I'm curious Carl, how does the shopping list work? Is it a specific app? A list in Apple Notes or where do you store them? I currently have a #buy list in ToDoist but would love to have a shopping list separated from my To-Do's. Cheers.
Hi J, the shopping list sends any item(s) I add there to my shared grocery list in Reminders. That's a shared list with my wife.
@@Carl_Pullein Thanks! Digging into Drafts now and watching the Field Guide by David Sparks.
Great video. Wish there was an Android version
Yes. Sadly, I've never been able to find an alternative to recommend.
@@Carl_Pullein No worries. Thanks for replying. Love the channel. I'll try it on my Macbook.
Thank you Mate! My PA Siri does this much faster for me & my C O D
She's certainly a very effiient PA.
Just a pity that Drafts is Apple only!
Yeah, I'm surprised no enterprising developer has made a similar app for Android.
Cool, but paid and for iPhone exclusive
The best apps are usually paid for. (Although not always exclusive for the iPhone)
Can it be used on iPad? if yes, did your setting sync between the apps? I saw that you are using Day-One. why?
Yes, it can be used on iPad (and now Mac OS), and it does sync everything including your notes. Day One is my journaling app.
@@Carl_Pullein I thought it is calendaring app. apologizing
This app looks superb and I was really looking forward to downloading it. Sadly it seems that it or an equivalent are not available on android? Can anyone recommend anything?
I'm afraid, there doesn't appear to be one. Quite a few people I know have tried.
