#### Obsidian - [Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhPDVrO0XO0) - I like the way Danny introduces the problem - Slower, more thorough and practical, rise to the solution needed which is Morgen - @ maybe I could do something similar - my example could be shared list of chores with my parents, make it easy to add something - Starts going through the different configurations ## Details ### Packaging **What emotion are you trying to convey?** - Empowerment - Convenience ### Title - How to time block Apple Reminders tasks in almost any calendar - How to time block Apple Reminders on your calendar - You can FINALLY time block Apple Reminders on your calendar ### Thumbnail - Same as what already exists - List in reminders -> Time blocked showcase in Morgen "The perfect setup" "Make time" "Time block reminders" ## Outline ### Intro **Hook** - Choose from one of [[#Pain points]] - %% easy? quick capture siri?%% - Apple Reminders is a simple but powerful productivity tool for capturing and managing your to dos. - But as the list keeps on growing, it can be hard to effectively prioritize and take action on what's most important. - This is where time blocking comes in. What if - you could schedule time throughout your day to work on your reminders to create your ideal daily plan - what if you could also combine this with other apps you might need to use for work or with family? - %%what if you could also combine this with tasks from other apps, or calendars for work?%% - and lastly, if you could automatically block off time to do so by telling it - That's where Morgen comes in. - but the same positive experience can't be said for time blocking - we can't set durations for tasks, change their length in the calendar (maybe need to double check), and it might not work with other calendars and task management apps we may use for work) - so in this video i'll show you how you can achieve just that using Morgen. - tutorial stuff starts **Brief outline of topics covered:** - Highlight the problem, then show Morgen as a solution ### Reminders prep - Time blocks - Morning - Lunch - Night - Hide all calendars - Hide all other calendars ### Content - Here's what my reminders looks like - I have a few different lists - have times on them already - One for work-related tasks - going through email - every day - reminder to record this video - high priority - due day of - Reminder to edit this video - high priority - due next day - One for personal tasks - weekly review every sunday - high priority - (daily habit) - One for projects - Idk what this should be - medium priority - To time block them in Morgen, we need to first set up our calendars - This can be done by clicking on your avatar and going to preferences - Just press the plus icon and choose your calendar providers - I've ended up connecting my personal calendars (which are on Google) and my work calendars (which are on outlook), and have some calendars to represent areas of my life like: - Work - Personal - Learning - Now let's set up the local integration - ? For this I'll be following the guide on our blog - & elaborate based on guide instructions - Click on your profile photo or initials in the bottom left corner - From the menu, select _Preferences_ - Under _Local Integrations_, select _Apple Reminders_ - From there, click on the Connect button. - You will then be prompted to grant Morgen permission to access your Apple Reminders. Select “Allow” in the pop-up.**** - If you have your phone's Reminders app synced via iCloud, then you should also see them here - Once you've connected your account, you will now see an Apple Reminders tab in your Morgen task panel. - Show what gets synced by showing sidebar for apple reminders integration - We can see information like - The priority level - Due date and time, which we can also see on the calendar itself - All-day events are at the top, rest shows at the due time - We see it organized in time-based sections for our daily planning needs, but we also see it organized by lists - We can choose to customize this: - % (maybe include this to help highlight how we can transition familiar views into Morgen) In Reminders I have a view i like that helps me prioritize my most important tasks for each list - I don't really need to see tasks due soon so I'll hide that - I don't need to see empty lists so I'll enable that - And I want them to be ordered by priority - So, let's go through some of the use cases I have for time blocking - Now at the start of my day, if I need to plan for work, I can now see the reminders I have from my list, as well as the coding related tasks in Linear, the app the developers use at Morgen - If I click on the filter icon in the top right and filter for both of these, reminders list then linear tickets in progress, I can see all the tasks I have due today in both Linear and Reminders - Which is what we use - These are automatically ordered by the Morgen Priority Factor, which recommends us the most important tasks to complete based on due date and priority levels - %% We can choose to sort them by due date, and drag and drop %% - Can manually change what calendar it goes to - Now I can move my reminder for recording that's technically happening right now - Then after I want to switch gears and do some coding - Can make an event before and after my lunch break for the same task - Let's say I complete all of them, the task is automatically completed - If you want to further personalize your time blocking experience, you can head to preferences - Change default time block time - Change what calendar it should go to by default, automatic is the last calendar you used - If you want privacy on your work calendar, you can set the events to private - Once I'm finished work and take a break, I have some time after here to do some personal tasks - For a reminder with a due date or due time, like this daily habit I have for reading - can right click, block on calendar to create a time block I can then drag around - We can check it off and it will automatically complete in the Reminders app, and show the next instance - Now we have a plan we can start completing throughout the day - If you want to end up only seeing your work related calendar, you can always go to the calendar icon up here and disable - If you find yourself doing this option, you can even create calendar sets to create a set with all your calendars, then a set with none -  I think it's also beneficial as a form of narrowed intention if they choose to hide calendars. - As I mentioned in the beginning, the thing I'm most excited to show you, is Morgen's unique superpower - the AI planner - If you're finding yourself overwhelmed with all the things you could be doing, then this helps you overcome planning paralysis and decide which ones are most important - I'll show you how you can automatically schedule your day using Frames, special slots in our calendar that helps us prioritize certain life areas. If i head to Friday… - Let's create work blocks for the time we spend working. Create one for work - Linear tasks in progress - Work tasks in linear - Make sure these go to the work calendar - After, we can take care of any chores or personal tasks by creating a frame for it - Can also make time for our projects block - Can also enable a setting where tasks scheduled in a frame will go to that calendar - Now, if we run the planner, we're recommended a schedule - Notice that these are just suggestions on how to schedule. we can still move them around and finalize our plan. (Choose something to adjust to showcase flexibility), then save ### Conclusion What are some relevant references or links - So, as you've seen, Morgen empowers you to effectively time block your reminders. - If you want to start creating your own ideal daily plans, you can start trying this local integration out by dowloading the app on our website, https://morgen.so ## Reflection **Satisfied?** **Improvements and solutions learned for the future**:
