Every time I unlock my phone, I unintentionally go down a rabbit hole of apps & notifications, forgetting why I picked it up in the first place.
I’m today years old learning that I can access spotlight search on my phone’s lock-screen (which means i can access apps and call people without actually having to unlock my phone)
- STEP 1: Swipe down while on your lock screen
- STEP 2: Type name of app you want to open or enter contact name

I’m lazy but I also like to have my files organized. Whether it’s notes, photos, or drafts of projects I’m working on.

Bonus tip: my friend likes to simplify it even further, he prefers YYMMDD (240316). Typically we steer clear from dots (24.03.16) or dashes (24-03-16) for formatting/compatibility issues when moving/sharing files around.
