I initially ignored Apple widgets when they were first rolled out because I thought it was just a flashy annoying feature.
But I just realized I could put them to good use for me by using them to display my calendar (fixed appointments) and tasks1 on my home screen.
As I’m writing this post, I’m realizing that I’ve since forgotten to star my daily priorities. But it is nice to use the Google Task widget so that when I turn on my phone to “write” something down, I can easily click on the Tasks before I get distracted by incoming messages, etc.
Do any of you use widgets? If so, what for?
To Molly and any other GTD fanatics, I still use a Moleskine GTD for capturing most of my ideas/tasks/open-loops, but the digital option to capture stuff when I’m on-the-go is helpful.
I don't use them in a very intentional way, but I like what you're doing here. I appreciate it as a quick reference for the weather and power status of my phone/watch/airpods.
