If you are at all curious about being more productive and efficient on your iPhone and iPad, you need to start using Apple’s built-in Shortcuts app. It was updated for iOS 13 (and iPad OS) to make it a lot more powerful but also a lot more simple to use. I have dozens of shortcuts that I use to calculate deadlines in my law practice, to save receipts, to send texts, to navigate to specific locations, to format pictures in specific ways, etc., and I can’t wait to do even more with iOS 13.
Last year, I wrote about a series of videos produced by California attorney David Sparks called the Siri Shortcuts Field Guide and I recommended it to anyone interested in using the Shortcuts app, whether you are brand new to Shortcut or an old pro.
In light of the significant changes in iOS 13, David Sparks created the new Shortcuts Field Guide, iOS 13 Edition. David gave me a free preview last week and I’ve already made my way through many of the new videos. This is an excellent resource that makes me very excited to start creating new shortcuts once iOS 13 comes out today. I’ve learned so much from these videos. Indeed, the best way to learn about creating shortcuts is to watch a video in which someone like David shows and explains how everything works. Plus, his course includes lots of sample shortcuts that you can download and modify to meet your specific needs. There are 107 separate videos in seven different sections, and you can either watch the videos in order or just jump to the ones that interest you the most.
The course costs $29, but if you use the code LAUNCHSHORTCUTS when you sign up, for a limited time you can access the course for only $24.
