I need your advice guys
My ADHD brain constantly forgets everything. Often I need to memorise something/adding to-do item and it needs to be BARE MINIMUM EFFORT otherwise I will just skip it.
Os there a way Apple Watch can help? Can I create shortcut on watchface or use buttons for note-taking?
I know I can long-press Digital Crown and ask Siri to make a note/add to-do, but I’d like to fast forward the Siri part and just dictate my note after pressing ONE button. Is it possible?
you can add this notes shortcut complication to your face. you can’t read notes on your watch, but they show on your phone.
You can add the voice memos complication to a Smart Stack. That’s what I do on my long commute. I swipe up and tap the voice notes and talk away! Now, the key is that you have to go back and listen to those notes later. (I have a recurring note on my calendar to listen to voice notes.) Along with that, I also ask Siri to set a reminder to “insert task/note” for today/or tomorrow. My reminders feed into my calendar automatically, so I see them later. Not sure if you use Reminders, but that might be something you can try also.
That’s would be just voice memos, not turned into text, right?
Correct. That’s why I go back and listen to mine and then write down whatever it was that I needed to remember or do. Most of the time it’s just me rambling and I only need to write down a minimal amount. (I have a 80 minute commute.)
When I want something to be text on my calendar, I press my Carplay button for Siri to begin listening and say “Add a Reminder to do such and such today” and it’s fed directly into my calendar. (Reminders feed into the calendar I use automatically.)
Of course if you don’t use Reminders that way, you can also say “Remind me to do such and such at a specific date and time.” Then you’ll get a Reminder for that. I find that to be helpful too.
JustPressRecord lets you start the voice note by pressing a complication and will automatically convert your speech to text afterwards.
