Medical ID feature makes key medical information available to strangers when your phone is locked.
If you are incapacitated during a medical emergency, a stranger can go to your power-oBn screen (long press right button and volume up on modern iPhones). That’s where your Medical ID info will be.
• Go to Health App > Medical ID > Edit
• Add an emergency medical contact.
• Medications and medical conditions will be public to anyone who picks up your mobile!!! Should this concern you, place a note instead: “Call emergency contact for medications and medical conditions.”
• I have not filled in my blood type. I have never know a Paramedic to carry blood smiles they will instead pump you with fluids instead.
Medical ID have a couple of practical benefits for you.
• You lose your mobile and someone finds it they can call your emergency contact.
• You have a life-threatening situation, doctors can call your emergency contact.
• Go into Settings > Camera and turn on Preserve Settings. Means that the app will remember the last mode you were in, i.e. video or photo. This will save time and enable you to not make any mistakes if your stuck for time
• Again in the Camera settings, if you have enough storage, max out the resolution on Record Video and Record Slo-mo.
• Again in Camera settings, most images will be framed better if you turn on grid mode. ...
The camera is a great tool for capturing work related projects or home or lifestyle
If you post pictures to FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram then consider the Camera app to be a habit that allows you to schedule your Social Media Sphere usage. Take your photo in the Camera app and then post it later, during your allotted window.
I first came across Evernote when reading "The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris
Obviously if you use your note taking app and to-do list app, then stick with those.
However, if you use or do not use a note taking app or to-do list app, or are unhappy with what you do use, lthen take a look at Evernote its free but you can upgrade for a small fee
Put your to-do list in Evernote
Create one long note that you edit every day or a new note for each day.
Place all your other notes in Evernote too. Don’t bother particularly with categorisation. Trust that you will be able to find whatever you want later through Evernote’s search facility
Mix in quick drafts and longer notes.
• Install the Evernote app on your home screen.
Starting with free and then upgrading ($60/year) gives you character recognition so you can scan business cars and or other documents....
There are a number of ways to organise your apps:
by function,
by colour,
by random chance,
by alphabetically.
Try to organise your screens by function, and plus also organise apps into folders by function.
I believe the home screen is for tools only.
The second screen is apps organized into folders.
The third or fourth screen is for misc Apps, namely Apple apps you aren’t allowed to remove.
However, you will have to make additional decisions on each screen and within each folder when organizing. I suggest choose alphabetically.
• Home screen, organize all of your apps by name, with numbers (like 1Password) coming before letters.
• In your folders, organise the apps hidden behind the first screen alphabetically as well.
• On your second screen, organize your folders alphabetically.
• I’m going to leave it mostly up to you on how to organize apps beyond the Hrst screen. Probably, they should mostly be inside folders.
• On the latest iOS, you can actually uninstall all the Apple apps except for Wallet, Safari, Find iPhone, and App Store. Put all these Apple apps into a folder on my third screen. We’ve barely scratched the surface of why this home page looks the way it does.
The phrase “your phone is a tool, not your boss” is implying that you’re the boss. But it’s more subtle than that.
Set your phone up so that you are the boss.
