How I use Drafts across Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch
Since then, it has become an integral part of the way that I capture information. From ideas for articles to reminders of things to do, most of them are initially captured within Drafts and then moved into other apps as part of a daily/weekly review. I will say up front that I’m very much aware that I only use a small part of what Drafts is capable of. A subscription tier is required for me to synch text across all my devices but this tier also allows text to be manipulated and pushed into other apps. I don’t use any of that at the moment, so I’m aware I’m not getting maximum value for my subscription. I’m going to make a concerted effort to get the actions up and running before the end of the year to see if I can make my processes more efficient.
Currently, though, the following process works out very well for me.There’s not a lot to say here other than that I have created a custom Workspace called “To Process” which houses any untagged files. This means that any new files that are created are automatically housed within “To Process”, which makes it nice and easy to find them all when I want to work through what I’ve collected.
As mentioned previously, Drafts is the gateway for all my thoughts and ideas that are coming into my digital ecosystem. Wherever I am or whatever I’m doing, I know I can record a thought or an idea instantly using a mixture of shortcuts or the watch complication.
