Apple Mastery
Design Your Ultimate Apple Productivity System.
Turn your Apple apps into a practical time management system.
Set up Reminders, Calendar, and Notes so you know what needs doing, what you realistically have time for, and where to find the information you need.
I’ll guide you through building the system, then show you how to use it to plan your week and manage your day.
Ready for iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate
Better Time Management with Apple
Make time for what matters with the Apple apps you already have.
Learn how to use Reminders, Calendar, and Notes to organise your tasks, plan your week, and keep your important information easy to find.
I’ll take you through setting up each app, step by step. Then we’ll bring everything together into a system you can use every day.
You have the apps. But do you have a system?
You put tasks into Reminders. You add meetings to your calendar. You save ideas in Notes.
Yet you can still reach the end of a busy day wondering why the important things didn’t get done.
Collecting tasks is a good start. You also need to decide which ones matter, when you will do them, and whether you have time for them.
That’s what this course will help you do.
Each app will have a clear purpose. You’ll know where things belong and how to use them when you plan your day.
What you’ll be able to do
Know what needs doing.
Set up Reminders so you have one place for your tasks and a clear view of what needs your attention this week.
Make a plan that fits your day.
Use Calendar to see the time you have available. Then make room for important work around your meetings and other commitments.
Find information when you need it.
Organise Notes so your project plans, ideas, and useful information are easy to find when it’s time to work.
Choose your priorities.
Build a planning habit that helps you decide what matters today, before messages and other people’s requests fill your time.
Keep your system useful.
Learn how to review your tasks and plans regularly, so your system reflects what’s happening in your life.
Please Note: As Apple will be rolling out Apple Intelligence features over the next few months, this course will be updated throughout the year to add anything new that affects the system you learn.
See how it works in a real week.
A useful system helps you make decisions.
When a task comes in, you need somewhere to put it. When you plan your week, you need to decide whether it needs your attention now or can wait. And before you commit to doing it, you need to check your calendar.
In this short video, I’ll show you how those steps fit together using Apple’s apps.
You’ll see how I move from a list of things to do to a plan for the week.
A clear job for each app.
You don’t need to use every feature. You need to understand how each app helps you.
Reminders holds what you need to do.
You’ll learn how to collect tasks, organise them, and decide when to work on them.
Calendar shows the time you have.
You’ll use it to see your commitments and make room for work that needs your attention.
Notes holds the information you need.
You’ll create a place for project details, plans, and ideas that support your work.
We’ll also look at Mail and Files, so you can manage emails and documents alongside the rest of your system.

Is this course for you?
This course is for you if you use Apple devices and want a practical way to manage your time and tasks.
Perhaps your tasks and notes are scattered across several apps. Perhaps you keep changing your setup, hoping the next one will help. Or perhaps you have a system, but rarely use it to plan your day.
You don’t need an interest in technology; all you need is a willingness to set things up and practise using them.
If you’re looking for a tour of every Apple feature, this course has a different focus: helping you organise your commitments and make better use of your time.
What you’ll learn.
Start with the basics.
Learn Collect, Organise, Do—my three steps for managing tasks and information. Then use the Time Sector System to organise tasks by when you intend to do them.
Set up Reminders.
Create your task lists, add repeating tasks, and learn how to turn incoming requests into clear actions.
Plan with Calendar.
Bring your tasks and available time together. Learn how to set aside time for important work without filling every gap in your day.
Organise Notes.
Keep project information, ideas, and supporting material somewhere you can find and use them.
Manage your emails and files.
Learn how Apple Mail and Files fit into your system.
Bring it all together.
Use regular reviews and daily planning to keep your system working as your priorities change.
What’s included.
Step-by-step video lessons you can follow at your own pace.
Workbooks and planning resources to help you put the lessons into practice.
Lifetime access, so you can return whenever you need a reminder.
Free course updates.
About the next update.
As Apple will be rolling out the Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features over the coming months, the next update will include a chapter on using the new Siri features as part of your productivity system.
The focus stays the same: helping you manage your tasks, plan your time, and find the information you need.

A few Questions You May Have
-
Do I need to know your systems before starting?
No. The course introduces Collect, Organise, Do and the Time Sector System before showing you how to use them with Apple’s apps.
-
I already use Reminders and Notes. Will this help?
If you use them to store tasks and information but still struggle to decide what to do each day, that’s the gap this course is designed to help you close.
-
Will I need to change everything at once?
You can work through the lessons at your own pace. Give yourself time to set up each part and practise using it.
-
Will this give me more time?
There are still only 24 hours in a day. A system helps you see your commitments clearly, decide what matters, and make a plan that fits the time you have. You’ll still need to make choices about what you can take on.
