00:26:07 ◼   ► them and where they go and you have like [TS]

00:26:09 ◼   ► all different apps in all different [TS]

00:26:11 ◼   ► placements and like some apps are on the [TS]

00:26:14 ◼   ► dock on one and not on the other like [TS]

00:26:16 ◼   ► there is no consistency and you are [TS]

00:26:18 ◼   ► making it inconsistent for yourself okay [TS]

00:26:21 ◼   ► Evernote look at Evernote just sitting [TS]

00:26:23 ◼   ► there in the dock my word where are we [TS]

00:26:25 ◼   ► in 2017 sitting in that in the dock [TS]

00:26:27 ◼   ► laughing at me I know next - what is [TS]

00:26:31 ◼   ► that that red fox arrow thing what's [TS]

00:26:34 ◼   ► that oh that that's a wikipedia viewer [TS]

00:26:36 ◼   ► oh yeah I've seen those before it's [TS]

00:26:39 ◼   ► really good [TS]

00:26:40 ◼   ► it's called vv4 wiki I think is the [TS]

00:26:42 ◼   ► search for it [TS]

00:26:44 ◼   ► so it's a really great Wikipedia viewer [TS]

00:26:46 ◼   ► so here's where I'm trying to focus on [TS]

00:26:48 ◼   ► consistency in my world okay step one I [TS]

00:26:51 ◼   ► decided that it was it was time to let [TS]

00:26:56 ◼   ► launch Center Pro go okay which threat [TS]

00:27:00 ◼   ► may be one of the longest running apps [TS]

00:27:02 ◼   ► on my phone that has changed the least [TS]

00:27:04 ◼   ► it's like that has been around for [TS]

00:27:07 ◼   ► forever we were just talking about it [TS]

00:27:09 ◼   ► about the icon well well this is why I'm [TS]

00:27:11 ◼   ► on the episode out of time it comes up [TS]

00:27:15 ◼   ► as a thing and I didn't want to specify [TS]

00:27:17 ◼   ► anything at that point in time but I had [TS]

00:27:19 ◼   ► already when we recorded that show [TS]

00:27:20 ◼   ► gotten rid of Launch Center right [TS]

00:27:22 ◼   ► because on an episode out of time you [TS]

00:27:23 ◼   ► cannot acknowledge at the time who knows [TS]

00:27:27 ◼   ► when it a guy's is that the rule for [TS]

00:27:29 ◼   ► episodes at a times I don't understand [TS]

00:27:30 ◼   ► how that works [TS]

00:27:31 ◼   ► so I got rid of that now I have tried I [TS]

00:27:33 ◼   ► have tried other launchers and I think [TS]

00:27:36 ◼   ► other launchers are probably fine for [TS]

00:27:39 ◼   ► other people mm-hm but alright it's like [TS]

00:27:42 ◼   ► I don't want to denigrate other [TS]

00:27:43 ◼   ► launchers that people might use because [TS]

00:27:45 ◼   ► they are they are good and they do but [TS]

00:27:46 ◼   ► like there's bunch of things I didn't [TS]

00:27:48 ◼   ► like and I'm very picky about this and [TS]

00:27:50 ◼   ► there's like the reason I had stuck with [TS]

00:27:51 ◼   ► launch Center Pro for as long as I had [TS]

00:27:53 ◼   ► is because I could it solved a [TS]

00:27:55 ◼   ► particular need very well so I was [TS]

00:27:56 ◼   ► thinking it through and realizing 95% of [TS]

00:28:00 ◼   ► what I was using launched Center Pro for [TS]

00:28:02 ◼   ► in the past year was really as a way to [TS]

00:28:07 ◼   ► kick off a bunch of workflows so I had a [TS]

00:28:10 ◼   ► whole bunch of stuff in the workflow app [TS]

00:28:11 ◼   ► and launch center Pro was just a faster [TS]

00:28:14 ◼   ► way to launch a workflow than going [TS]

00:28:16 ◼   ► directly into the workflow app itself [TS]

00:28:18 ◼   ► this what I'm about to say is going to [TS]

00:28:20 ◼   ► sound crazy to people but actually is I [TS]

00:28:23 ◼   ► think is great and is that the part of [TS]

00:28:25 ◼   ► the system on the happiest with is I [TS]

00:28:27 ◼   ► replaced launch Center Pro with a folder [TS]

00:28:32 ◼   ► that just has shortcuts to workflows [TS]

00:28:36 ◼   ► this is better the way you were doing it [TS]

00:28:38 ◼   ► was worse like opening launch Center Pro [TS]

00:28:41 ◼   ► to launch workflows is a I think a [TS]

00:28:45 ◼   ► slower way of doing it than what you're [TS]

00:28:46 ◼   ► currently doing which is to save because [TS]

00:28:49 ◼   ► you can save workflows to the iPhone [TS]

00:28:52 ◼   ► homescreen with like this weird hack of [TS]

00:28:54 ◼   ► Safari basically and this is quicker [TS]

00:28:57 ◼   ► having [TS]

00:28:57 ◼   ► folder there and then hittin the button [TS]

00:28:59 ◼   ► that's one less tap the reason I stuck [TS]

00:29:01 ◼   ► with LAN Center pro is as long as I did [TS]

00:29:03 ◼   ► is it was lightning fast to do it it [TS]

00:29:05 ◼   ► actually is a little bit slower with the [TS]

00:29:07 ◼   ► folder okay because apples like look at [TS]

00:29:10 ◼   ► our beautiful enemy okay Russian speed [TS]

00:29:13 ◼   ► okay yeah whereas especially if launch [TS]

00:29:16 ◼   ► Center Pro was still kept in memory it [TS]

00:29:18 ◼   ► was essentially instant so there's a [TS]

00:29:20 ◼   ► little bit of a speed trade-off here but [TS]

00:29:22 ◼   ► it's fine I still think this is a battle [TS]

00:29:24 ◼   ► way to do it though might not be faster [TS]

00:29:27 ◼   ► but I think this is this is cleaner but [TS]

00:29:29 ◼   ► yeah yeah so this is this is cleaner it [TS]

00:29:33 ◼   ► does have a disadvantage that I have to [TS]

00:29:35 ◼   ► manually arrange everything so that it's [TS]

00:29:38 ◼   ► the same on all of the devices there's [TS]

00:29:39 ◼   ► no syncing anymore the state of what the [TS]

00:29:42 ◼   ► launch center is but that's that's fine [TS]

00:29:44 ◼   ► that's a fine trade-off and if someone [TS]

00:29:46 ◼   ► looks in the screenshots what they will [TS]

00:29:48 ◼   ► see is dead center on all of my devices [TS]

00:29:52 ◼   ► there is a folder and that folder has [TS]

00:29:55 ◼   ► nothing but buttons which launch [TS]

00:29:57 ◼   ► workflow yeah it's it's dead center but [TS]

00:30:00 ◼   ► not always relative what do you mean not [TS]

00:30:02 ◼   ► always relative it's not relative to the [TS]

00:30:04 ◼   ► green and red okay no we'll get into [TS]

00:30:07 ◼   ► this in a second we'll get into this in [TS]

00:30:08 ◼   ► a second like right for a long time this [TS]

00:30:11 ◼   ► is like the onion of home screens were [TS]

00:30:13 ◼   ► in right now no but listen okay listen [TS]

00:30:15 ◼   ► listen look at those three screens yep [TS]

00:30:17 ◼   ► the workflow folder is that Center look [TS]

00:30:22 ◼   ► look at those the little dots that are [TS]

00:30:24 ◼   ► supposed to show you the home screen or [TS]

00:30:25 ◼   ► the widgets I can see that is the center [TS]

00:30:28 ◼   ► right it's fine the folder is directly [TS]

00:30:31 ◼   ► below those dots are as close as a [TS]

00:30:32 ◼   ► person can make it yes it is itis I'm [TS]

00:30:35 ◼   ► sorry it's not it's not perfectly [TS]

00:30:37 ◼   ► aligned because of some aesthetic [TS]

00:30:39 ◼   ► choices that Apple has made but we'll [TS]

00:30:42 ◼   ► just let that slide right now yeah that [TS]

00:30:43 ◼   ► is we aligned it's finally iPhone not [TS]

00:30:47 ◼   ► not not fine on the big iPad yeah not [TS]

00:30:50 ◼   ► not fine on the I on the iPad so that [TS]

00:30:52 ◼   ► doesn't bother you at all it does very [TS]

00:30:56 ◼   ► much so okay alright so this is this is [TS]

00:31:00 ◼   ► the anchor around which we're building [TS]

00:31:02 ◼   ► everything is gotten rid of Launch [TS]

00:31:04 ◼   ► Center Pro I have found an adequate [TS]

00:31:06 ◼   ► solution it's going to go in the center [TS]

00:31:08 ◼   ► on all of the devices this is where we [TS]

00:31:11 ◼   ► begin [TS]

00:31:11 ◼   ► my assumption here is that these are all [TS]

00:31:14 ◼   ► to launch most likely toggle actions [TS]

00:31:18 ◼   ► would be my assumption nothing in that [TS]

00:31:21 ◼   ► center folder is for toggle we'll get to [TS]

00:31:23 ◼   ► this okay good all right I was gonna be [TS]

00:31:25 ◼   ► in the discussion and I was gonna lose [TS]

00:31:27 ◼   ► my mind no actually uh most of those [TS]

00:31:34 ◼   ► Launch Center things are pre-programmed [TS]

00:31:36 ◼   ► stuff for OmniFocus and a like a couple [TS]

00:31:39 ◼   ► of other okay the purple once I assume I [TS]

00:31:41 ◼   ► OmniFocus and purple ones are OmniFocus [TS]

00:31:44 ◼   ► stuff that's cool that's all I really [TS]

00:31:45 ◼   ► need to know I just needed to know what [TS]

00:31:48 ◼   ► they did and that's enough for me it's [TS]

00:31:49 ◼   ► all inconsistent now because I haven't [TS]

00:31:51 ◼   ► quite decided on like what this new [TS]

00:31:53 ◼   ► setup is going to be so I haven't [TS]

00:31:54 ◼   ► worried about making sure it's [TS]

00:31:56 ◼   ► consistent on every single device but [TS]

00:31:58 ◼   ► I'll get there at some point I've just [TS]

00:31:59 ◼   ► noticed something else that you've done [TS]

00:32:01 ◼   ► okay what have you noticed in the iPad [TS]

00:32:03 ◼   ► folders you've put blank icons in there [TS]

00:32:06 ◼   ► so it's always the same yes okay so this [TS]

00:32:09 ◼   ► is this is one way this is one way I am [TS]

00:32:15 ◼   ► trying to force consistency out of an [TS]

00:32:19 ◼   ► operating system that is trying to force [TS]

00:32:21 ◼   ► me into an inconsistent state if you [TS]

00:32:23 ◼   ► want the three by three grid everywhere [TS]

00:32:25 ◼   ► because the thing with a launcher is [TS]

00:32:27 ◼   ► that it's muscle memory right it's [TS]

00:32:30 ◼   ► you're not like scanning and looking for [TS]

00:32:33 ◼   ► a thing you're trying to make it muscle [TS]

00:32:35 ◼   ► memory gosh so the iPhone only allows a [TS]

00:32:39 ◼   ► three by three grid in the folder so I I [TS]

00:32:42 ◼   ► am forcing a three by three grid in the [TS]

00:32:45 ◼   ► folder on the iPad but as you can see [TS]

00:32:48 ◼   ► that means the 3 by 3 grid is not [TS]

00:32:51 ◼   ► centered and it can't possibly be [TS]

00:32:53 ◼   ► centered because the iPads want a four [TS]

00:32:56 ◼   ► by four grid in the folder so this is [TS]

00:32:58 ◼   ► this is a trade-off I'm just going to [TS]

00:32:59 ◼   ► have to make that the grid will be [TS]

00:33:00 ◼   ► off-center but there's there's no [TS]

00:33:02 ◼   ► there's no way to manage that for the [TS]

00:33:04 ◼   ► launcher one and the muscle memory of [TS]

00:33:06 ◼   ► where the buttons are is vastly more [TS]

00:33:08 ◼   ► important all of these images are in our [TS]

00:33:10 ◼   ► show notes so you can play along at home [TS]

00:33:12 ◼   ► I just wanted to read yeah I think I [TS]

00:33:14 ◼   ► have to look at this yeah it does you [TS]

00:33:17 ◼   ► cannot conceptualize this unless you're [TS]

00:33:18 ◼   ► seeing it so you have to see it if [TS]

00:33:20 ◼   ► you're driving just wait till later [TS]

00:33:22 ◼   ► we're all good [TS]

00:33:24 ◼   ► you need to see this rethink number two [TS]

00:33:26 ◼   ► okay can't believe we're just done [TS]

00:33:28 ◼   ► number two okay I know you can't you [TS]

00:33:30 ◼   ► can't believe we're just not number two [TS]

00:33:31 ◼   ► I feel like I'm barely halfway through [TS]

00:33:33 ◼   ► whatever is going to happen like oh yeah [TS]

00:33:35 ◼   ► so I'm still so dissatisfied like we're [TS]

00:33:37 ◼   ► just solving our questions like this [TS]

00:33:39 ◼   ► things I keep seeing things that make me [TS]

00:33:41 ◼   ► love and I because I know what you're [TS]

00:33:43 ◼   ► doing but I just need to double check [TS]

00:33:45 ◼   ► thing number two that happened is [TS]

00:33:47 ◼   ► there's a change in iOS 11 which I [TS]

00:33:50 ◼   ► really like which is that you can put [TS]

00:33:53 ◼   ► notes in control center and so I [TS]

00:33:57 ◼   ► realized I don't need notes on the dock [TS]

00:33:59 ◼   ► anymore because the way I use notes is [TS]

00:34:03 ◼   ► probably different from the way almost [TS]

00:34:04 ◼   ► everybody uses notes and that I I use it [TS]

00:34:07 ◼   ► solely to just write down something and [TS]

00:34:10 ◼   ► then once a week I kind of go through [TS]

00:34:12 ◼   ► and call all these random pieces of text [TS]

00:34:15 ◼   ► throughout the week look I don't use [TS]

00:34:17 ◼   ► notes as an organizational system of any [TS]

00:34:20 ◼   ► kind notes is just I need to write [TS]

00:34:22 ◼   ► something down and I know future me will [TS]

00:34:25 ◼   ► do whatever is necessary with this piece [TS]

00:34:26 ◼   ► of text at a later point okay couple of [TS]

00:34:28 ◼   ► questions on that yeah are you writing [TS]

00:34:30 ◼   ► them down with a keyboard or with a [TS]

00:34:32 ◼   ► pencil with it with the keyboard all [TS]

00:34:35 ◼   ► most of it okay and so I'm assuming that [TS]

00:34:39 ◼   ► you're taking these things and either [TS]

00:34:41 ◼   ► putting them in a task manager or inside [TS]

00:34:44 ◼   ► of a project that you're already writing [TS]

00:34:46 ◼   ► and or inside of your beloved Evernote [TS]

00:34:48 ◼   ► will be myself yeah it's like it's just [TS]

00:34:51 ◼   ► anything right like if the simple case [TS]

00:34:54 ◼   ► like somebody recommends a movie I'm [TS]

00:34:55 ◼   ► like oh okay and I make it I'm making [TS]

00:34:56 ◼   ► over the movie title and then later I'll [TS]

00:34:59 ◼   ► properly sort that into like the place [TS]

00:35:00 ◼   ► where I keep a list of here's a bunch of [TS]

00:35:02 ◼   ► movies to watch or books that have been [TS]

00:35:03 ◼   ► recommended all right it's it's just [TS]

00:35:05 ◼   ► like little pieces of text that don't go [TS]

00:35:07 ◼   ► anywhere in particular and it's not [TS]

00:35:08 ◼   ► worth the effort of properly sorting [TS]

00:35:11 ◼   ► them at the time right okay this is [TS]

00:35:13 ◼   ► different to me where like if it's text [TS]

00:35:16 ◼   ► it goes in notes right if it's not a [TS]

00:35:18 ◼   ► task because tasks never go in notes it [TS]

00:35:21 ◼   ► always just like so I would have my list [TS]

00:35:24 ◼   ► of movies to see would be in notes for [TS]

00:35:26 ◼   ► example I know that that is the way most [TS]

00:35:28 ◼   ► people would use it but it's just it's [TS]

00:35:30 ◼   ► just not the way that I you sure I get [TS]

00:35:32 ◼   ► that if anybody uses the app called [TS]

00:35:34 ◼   ► drafts I use notes the way drafts is in [TS]

00:35:37 ◼   ► tended to be used like yes that's like a [TS]

00:35:40 ◼   ► little comparison there so it's not a [TS]

00:35:42 ◼   ► storage facility of any points a [TS]

00:35:44 ◼   ► starting point for text never the final [TS]

00:35:46 ◼   ► point yeah exactly [TS]

00:35:48 ◼   ► and I really like this little change in [TS]

00:35:50 ◼   ► iOS 11 that you can do it from control [TS]

00:35:52 ◼   ► center because it also means that it's [TS]

00:35:54 ◼   ► it's it's much more accessible much more [TS]

00:35:57 ◼   ► quickly in a bunch of scenario so I love [TS]

00:35:59 ◼   ► that the phone is locked and I can just [TS]

00:36:01 ◼   ► swipe up from control center and and go [TS]

00:36:04 ◼   ► to notes and type something and and it [TS]

00:36:06 ◼   ► just goes into the system and I never [TS]

00:36:07 ◼   ► even need to unlock the phone yeah [TS]

00:36:08 ◼   ► that's that's a great that's a great [TS]

00:36:09 ◼   ► thing that you can do that now yeah if [TS]

00:36:11 ◼   ► you want to set it up that way it is a [TS]

00:36:13 ◼   ► really nice addition and so that that [TS]

00:36:15 ◼   ► change meant [TS]

00:36:17 ◼   ► okay well notes doesn't need to be on [TS]

00:36:18 ◼   ► the dock anymore [TS]

00:36:20 ◼   ► right notes can just go away yeah and in [TS]

00:36:22 ◼   ► an interesting way that kind of [TS]

00:36:24 ◼   ► reinforces your use case it's almost [TS]

00:36:27 ◼   ► like it's designed exactly for that like [TS]

00:36:30 ◼   ► Oh someone just said a thing you want to [TS]

00:36:32 ◼   ► write something down really quickly and [TS]

00:36:33 ◼   ► you just want it to go into the system [TS]

00:36:35 ◼   ► are you not [TS]

00:36:36 ◼   ► you're not filing it at that point in [TS]

00:36:38 ◼   ► time so I'm glad about that [TS]

00:36:41 ◼   ► but again I'm all like muscle memory [TS]

00:36:42 ◼   ► because this is a thing that happens [TS]

00:36:44 ◼   ► lots so I want I just want to know that [TS]

00:36:48 ◼   ► whatever device I'm using I've built it [TS]

00:36:51 ◼   ► into my brain that oh the way you now [TS]

00:36:53 ◼   ► type down a thing is just pull up [TS]

00:36:56 ◼   ► control center hit new note and just [TS]

00:36:58 ◼   ► type it and done right so this is no [TS]

00:37:00 ◼   ► longer a dock first activity mm-hmm Omni [TS]

00:37:04 ◼   ► focus has also been removed from the [TS]

00:37:06 ◼   ► dock but this is a complicated thing [TS]

00:37:07 ◼   ► we'll just we'll just have to get get to [TS]

00:37:09 ◼   ► later right for very for various reasons [TS]

00:37:11 ◼   ► OmniFocus is not going to be on the dock [TS]

00:37:13 ◼   ► anymore but it's like I can't I can't [TS]

00:37:15 ◼   ► even articulate a fiower I phone you [TS]

00:37:16 ◼   ► mean yes it's not it's not on the dock [TS]

00:37:18 ◼   ► of the iPhone because it's on the dock [TS]

00:37:19 ◼   ► of one of the iPads I know I know and [TS]

00:37:22 ◼   ► it's reinforcing the inconsistency but [TS]

00:37:24 ◼   ► yes I know I know [TS]

00:37:26 ◼   ► yes that's like well just it's not gonna [TS]

00:37:27 ◼   ► be on the dock on the iPhone we'll just [TS]

00:37:29 ◼   ► we'll give it oh I just noticed is there [TS]

00:37:31 ◼   ► as well [TS]

00:37:32 ◼   ► Wow look at you would you'd look at you [TS]

00:37:35 ◼   ► mister to do pants you gotta go into [TS]

00:37:37 ◼   ► stuff we just stop jumping ahead you [TS]

00:37:42 ◼   ► shouldn't have given me the images you [TS]

00:37:43 ◼   ► know like I can't I can't help it [TS]

00:37:45 ◼   ► okay so there was then a long period of [TS]

00:40:02 ◼   ► devices that'd be a way to do it [TS]

00:40:35 ◼   ► don't feel that it's also an annoyance [TS]

00:40:38 ◼   ► but here's the use case that here's the [TS]

00:40:42 ◼   ► I'm on the iPad doing something and I [TS]

00:40:46 ◼   ► want to trigger the timer okay yeah [TS]

00:41:10 ◼   ► that moment of being on the iPad with [TS]

00:41:12 ◼   ► the apps open is like I'd it's I have to [TS]

00:41:14 ◼   ► think about it for a second and now it's [TS]

00:41:16 ◼   ► now it's all ruined so that this is what [TS]

00:41:19 ◼   ► ended up with the like the the most [TS]

00:41:20 ◼   ► sensible thing to do was to put the time [TS]

00:41:23 ◼   ► tracking stuff in the dock and so I'm [TS]

00:41:26 ◼   ► thinking of it from the perspective of [TS]

00:41:28 ◼   ► the most space constrained device which [TS]

00:41:32 ◼   ► is the iPhone which you can only put [TS]

00:41:35 ◼   ► three icons in the dock if you want it [TS]

00:41:37 ◼   ► to look nice so now I have my three dock [TS]

00:42:10 ◼   ► the everything else iPad okay so the [TS]

00:42:17 ◼   ► writing I've had is reasonably okay [TS]

00:42:20 ◼   ► because the use cases are are very [TS]

00:42:22 ◼   ► constrained and this is where I feel the [TS]

00:42:25 ◼   ► happiest because it's like I want to use [TS]

00:42:27 ◼   ► Ulysses to write I want to use good [TS]

00:42:30 ◼   ► notes for the physical writing I use [TS]

00:42:34 ◼   ► bear as a to organize a bunch of notes [TS]

00:42:38 ◼   ► and a Wikipedia app and it's like this [TS]

00:42:42 ◼   ► is easily 95 percent at the time I'm [TS]

00:42:45 ◼   ► going to spend on this iPad so I can get [TS]

00:42:47 ◼   ► it all in the doc and I can get it [TS]

00:42:49 ◼   ► arranged reasonably nicely now the thing [TS]

00:42:51 ◼   ► that I'm trying to do to preserve my [TS]

00:42:53 ◼   ► mental muscle memory is because since [TS]

00:42:55 ◼   ► Docs are variable in size there's three [TS]

00:42:59 ◼   ► muscle memory points here center left [TS]

00:43:02 ◼   ► hand side right hand side so this is [TS]

00:43:06 ◼   ► what I want now to be the same across [TS]

00:43:07 ◼   ► all devices so the launching folder is [TS]

00:43:10 ◼   ► in the center the plus to start the [TS]

00:43:12 ◼   ► timer is on the left and the X to stop [TS]

00:43:15 ◼   ► the timer is on the right this is this [TS]

00:43:17 ◼   ► is what's going to be the same across [TS]

00:43:19 ◼   ► all devices and all that means now is I [TS]

00:43:22 ◼   ► need to put a symmetrical number of apps [TS]

00:43:26 ◼   ► in between those points so am I writing [TS]

00:43:29 ◼   ► iPad I have three apps between the left [TS]

00:43:31 ◼   ► and the middle and on the right hand [TS]

00:43:34 ◼   ► side I have two apps plus a folder that [TS]

00:43:39 ◼   ► contains everything else that's on the [TS]

00:43:41 ◼   ► iPad since I've decided that there will [TS]

00:43:44 ◼   ► be no apps on the home screen [TS]

00:43:46 ◼   ► that means everything else goes into the [TS]

00:43:49 ◼   ► infinity folder that holds all of the [TS]

00:43:52 ◼   ► other apps that are going to exist on [TS]

00:43:54 ◼   ► the iPad so this this is this is the [TS]

00:43:57 ◼   ► idea of my doc solution is you have one [TS]

00:44:01 ◼   ► folder that's the Infinity folder I have [TS]

00:44:04 ◼   ► three muscle memory points and then I [TS]

00:44:07 ◼   ► fill in the rest that's that's the idea [TS]

00:44:10 ◼   ► of what's going on can I ask you a [TS]

00:44:11 ◼   ► question about the muscle memory thing [TS]

00:44:13 ◼   ► please why didn't you put all three in [TS]

00:44:15 ◼   ► the middle on everything because on the [TS]

00:44:18 ◼   ► big iPad because you have the recents [TS]

00:44:19 ◼   ► it's not on the far right in iOS 11 you [TS]

00:44:26 ◼   ► so important [TS]

00:44:26 ◼   ► iOS will put three suggested apps in [TS]

00:44:30 ◼   ► your dock [TS]

00:44:30 ◼   ► on the right side and these you don't [TS]

00:44:35 ◼   ► have control over they just they just [TS]

00:44:38 ◼   ► they're what Apple thinks you want to [TS]

00:44:41 ◼   ► have now there's there's like a funny [TS]

00:44:44 ◼   ► bit of space that's between these apps [TS]

00:44:48 ◼   ► and the other apps that makes everything [TS]

00:44:50 ◼   ► kind of off-center and having the three [TS]

00:44:53 ◼   ► right in the middle but not exactly in [TS]

00:44:56 ◼   ► the middle is makes it more obvious that [TS]

00:44:59 ◼   ► things are off-center to me it just [TS]

00:45:02 ◼   ► visually bothered me more okay so you [TS]

00:45:05 ◼   ► tried it yeah okay I tried it but it [TS]

00:45:08 ◼   ► just looked weird and I can in my mind [TS]

00:45:12 ◼   ► sort of mentally place those suggested [TS]

00:45:16 ◼   ► apps in a different location and you'd [TS]

00:45:18 ◼   ► like the suggested apps enough to keep [TS]

00:45:20 ◼   ► it on the big iPad because it's not on [TS]

00:45:22 ◼   ► the well well we're trying with we're [TS]

00:45:27 ◼   ► we'll get to this in a second it also [TS]

00:45:30 ◼   ► helped that the the red X I press far [TS]

00:45:32 ◼   ► less than the start button all right so [TS]

00:45:33 ◼   ► it matters less that that one is in the [TS]

00:45:35 ◼   ► exact right spot but for me from my [TS]

00:45:38 ◼   ► brain this just works even though it [TS]

00:45:41 ◼   ► should seem like keeping everything in [TS]

00:45:43 ◼   ► the center would would make more sense [TS]

00:45:45 ◼   ► but I don't for like for me for somehow [TS]

00:45:47 ◼   ► this is just what seems to make more [TS]

00:45:50 ◼   ► sense as put them at the edges even [TS]

00:45:52 ◼   ► though on one of these devices there [TS]

00:45:53 ◼   ► isn't quite an edge so that so this is [TS]

00:45:58 ◼   ► what I am trying but this again like [TS]

00:45:59 ◼   ► this world of inconsistency is [TS]

00:46:01 ◼   ► crazy-making [TS]

00:46:02 ◼   ► because on the iPad that I use for [TS]

00:46:05 ◼   ► everything I do have these suggested [TS]

00:46:07 ◼   ► apps because it's it's really useful to [TS]

00:53:30 ◼   ► twelve point nine and away from home I [TS]

00:53:31 ◼   ► used a ten point five but I do use the [TS]

00:53:35 ◼   ► ten point five a lot at home [TS]

00:53:36 ◼   ► if I'm going to be doing things like [TS]

00:53:40 ◼   ► reading Twitter and stuff like that [TS]

00:53:43 ◼   ► I may just grab the ten point five [TS]

00:53:44 ◼   ► because it's just easier to hold in use [TS]

00:53:46 ◼   ► because it's smaller and lighter but [TS]

00:53:49 ◼   ► like the primary is home and away which [TS]

00:53:52 ◼   ► is why I take steps to set them up very [TS]

00:53:55 ◼   ► similarly they're not exactly the same [TS]

00:53:59 ◼   ► select some of the folders and the [TS]

00:54:01 ◼   ► placement some apps on the home screen [TS]

00:54:02 ◼   ► is different but that's not a thing that [TS]

00:54:04 ◼   ► I worry about too much because if it's [TS]

00:54:08 ◼   ► not in the dock I'm opening it via [TS]

00:54:10 ◼   ► spotlight right and so like for me I I [TS]

00:54:15 ◼   ► am the reason I still have apps on my [TS]

00:54:17 ◼   ► home screen is because they're really [TS]

00:54:19 ◼   ► just a organization thing it's just like [TS]

00:54:21 ◼   ► a place for me to put the apps because I [TS]

00:54:23 ◼   ► open them the majority of apps from from [TS]

00:54:25 ◼   ► spotlight all right okay so that makes [TS]

00:54:28 ◼   ► sense since you are doing the same kind [TS]

00:54:30 ◼   ► of things on both devices it's it's a [TS]

00:54:33 ◼   ► simple it's simply the size factor and [TS]

00:54:36 ◼   ► convenience factor of moving it or not [TS]

00:54:38 ◼   ► moving it exactly that makes it so [TS]

00:54:40 ◼   ► that's why you want the dock the same [TS]

00:54:41 ◼   ► everywhere because otherwise you would [TS]

00:54:43 ◼   ► be losing your mind and my steps are [TS]

00:54:44 ◼   ► like so I have less I there are you can [TS]

00:54:50 ◼   ► have more apps in the dock on the 12.9 [TS]

00:54:53 ◼   ► but I actually less because I like the [TS]

00:54:55 ◼   ► consistency I have noticed an [TS]

00:54:57 ◼   ► inconsistency which I want to rectify [TS]

00:54:59 ◼   ► that Dropbox on the large iPad is in the [TS]

00:55:02 ◼   ► dock on its own but on the the small [TS]

00:55:05 ◼   ► iPad it's in a folder although I expect [TS]

00:55:07 ◼   ► as soon as Dropbox update for the files [TS]

00:55:09 ◼   ► app on iOS 11 I won't need it anymore [TS]

00:55:12 ◼   ► really yeah I'm kind of just waiting for [TS]

00:55:15 ◼   ► that point so the dock for me is really [TS]

00:55:19 ◼   ► like these are the apps that I'm using [TS]

00:55:20 ◼   ► most on my iPad and I think it [TS]

00:55:23 ◼   ► reinforces the fact that I say I use the [TS]

00:55:25 ◼   ► iPad for work because they are work apps [TS]

00:55:28 ◼   ► like all of those that's what they are [TS]

00:55:31 ◼   ► and the reason that they are all there [TS]

00:55:33 ◼   ► is because these are the application [TS]

00:55:35 ◼   ► that I'm most frequently using in split [TS]

00:55:38 ◼   ► views so I keep them in the dock because [TS]

00:55:40 ◼   ► it's way easier that way to just flick [TS]

00:55:42 ◼   ► up and just drag it to where I need it [TS]

00:55:43 ◼   ► to be which just all the record because [TS]

00:55:46 ◼   ► there is a lot of a there's a lot of [TS]

00:55:48 ◼   ► inconsistent opinions about how people [TS]

00:55:51 ◼   ► feel about this [TS]

00:55:51 ◼   ► I love the new multitasking in iOS 11 I [TS]

00:55:55 ◼   ► think it's fantastic I think it is [TS]

00:55:57 ◼   ► superior in almost every way it just [TS]

00:56:00 ◼   ► takes time to get used to and learn but [TS]

00:56:02 ◼   ► I absolutely love it I love all the [TS]

00:56:05 ◼   ► dragging because I am able to visualize [TS]

00:56:08 ◼   ► where everything's going to be is is [TS]

00:56:09 ◼   ► very visual I think that that is a there [TS]

00:56:12 ◼   ► I think there is a key to being able to [TS]

00:56:14 ◼   ► work on iOS in the if you like things [TS]

00:56:17 ◼   ► visual I think that is the thing you [TS]

00:56:19 ◼   ► have to just get used to is that you'd [TS]

00:56:21 ◼   ► like to be able to see things you like [TS]

00:56:23 ◼   ► to be able to see the movement of things [TS]

00:56:25 ◼   ► and being able to physically drag [TS]

00:56:28 ◼   ► application to where I want them to be [TS]

00:56:30 ◼   ► and have them snap into a place and move [TS]

00:56:32 ◼   ► them all around and the additional [TS]

00:56:35 ◼   ► flexibility that iOS Elevens [TS]

00:56:36 ◼   ► multitasking has is amazing and I love [TS]

00:56:39 ◼   ► it and I've changed some of my workflows [TS]

00:56:41 ◼   ► and they're changed now and I would [TS]

00:56:42 ◼   ► never want to change them back yeah I do [TS]

00:56:47 ◼   ► again just want to make it really clear [TS]

00:56:48 ◼   ► that I am also like in favor of the [TS]

00:56:51 ◼   ► changes and I think it's I think it's a [TS]

00:56:53 ◼   ► really great the way that they have done [TS]

00:56:55 ◼   ► it I've just been advocating for [TS]

00:56:56 ◼   ► something on top of that very minor [TS]

00:56:58 ◼   ► thing on top of that but yeah yeah of [TS]

00:57:00 ◼   ► course I mean that there are things that [TS]

00:57:01 ◼   ► I would like to defer that for it to do [TS]

00:57:04 ◼   ► that are different now um but on the [TS]

00:57:06 ◼   ► whole I am a real proponent of the [TS]

00:57:09 ◼   ► changes that Apple has made yeah so a [TS]

00:57:12 ◼   ► thing that I have found really [TS]

00:57:13 ◼   ► interesting about using iOS over this [TS]

00:57:17 ◼   ► long period of time is with my two iPads [TS]

00:57:22 ◼   ► one that has this dedicated purpose [TS]

00:57:24 ◼   ► which is writing and research and the [TS]

00:57:27 ◼   ► other one which is the everything iPad [TS]

00:57:30 ◼   ► all kinds of administrative work I see [TS]

00:57:34 ◼   ► both sides of how this works [TS]

00:57:36 ◼   ► so on my dedicated iPad I feel like this [TS]

00:57:40 ◼   ► is exactly what Apple is really [TS]

00:57:42 ◼   ► optimizing for I can put essentially all [TS]

00:57:45 ◼   ► of the applications that I want [TS]

00:57:47 ◼   ► use on the dock and on my writing iPad [TS]

00:57:51 ◼   ► every app does have a consistent buddy [TS]

00:57:54 ◼   ► that it stays with Ulysses in bear [TS]

00:57:57 ◼   ► I'm always opening together ones the [TS]

00:57:59 ◼   ► main writing app and and the other one [TS]

00:58:01 ◼   ► is for auxiliary notes workflow and do [TS]

00:58:05 ◼   ► are side by side they're always together [TS]

00:58:07 ◼   ► like to do an OmniFocus stay together as [TS]

00:58:11 ◼   ► a little pair so on this device [TS]

00:58:14 ◼   ► I have consistent pairs which is great [TS]

00:58:17 ◼   ► it's nice to see the things that I want [TS]

00:58:19 ◼   ► next to each other next to each other [TS]

00:58:20 ◼   ► all the time and I also have the vast [TS]

00:58:24 ◼   ► majority of my work is just there on the [TS]

00:58:25 ◼   ► dock and easily accessible it's like [TS]

00:58:27 ◼   ► this is great I feel like this is [TS]

00:58:29 ◼   ► exactly what this was this was designed [TS]

00:58:30 ◼   ► for but I do still feel like on my [TS]

00:58:34 ◼   ► everything iPad like I'm just I'm losing [TS]

00:58:37 ◼   ► my mind and it's it I still find it very [TS]

00:58:39 ◼   ► clunky and frustrating to work with [TS]

00:58:42 ◼   ► because there I just I just don't have [TS]

00:58:45 ◼   ► consistent pairs of apps and I find [TS]

00:58:51 ◼   ► myself always wishing it was it was a [TS]

00:58:53 ◼   ► bit more like spaces on on Mac OS where [TS]

00:58:55 ◼   ► I could say like I want to define these [TS]

00:58:59 ◼   ► two APS's together and don't don't break [TS]

00:59:02 ◼   ► them apart if I happen to go to [TS]

00:59:05 ◼   ► something else briefly like it's I feel [TS]

00:59:09 ◼   ► like like like I'm building castles out [TS]

00:59:11 ◼   ► of sand like for like for example this [TS]

00:59:13 ◼   ► morning they're doing like storyboarding [TS]

00:59:14 ◼   ► feedback with the animator and so like [TS]

00:59:16 ◼   ► that is a process that has a bunch of [TS]

00:59:19 ◼   ► apps that I want to use and it's like [TS]

00:59:21 ◼   ► it's just I just keep finding a clunky [TS]

00:59:23 ◼   ► to be constantly like setting up pairs [TS]

00:59:25 ◼   ► but then I want to break them down [TS]

00:59:27 ◼   ► because I want to bring in a third app [TS]

00:59:29 ◼   ► but I want to go back to the previous [TS]

00:59:31 ◼   ► thing I'm still finding it frustrating [TS]

00:59:34 ◼   ► for like intensive use of a large number [TS]

00:59:38 ◼   ► of varied apps but I got on the smaller [TS]

00:59:42 ◼   ► case it's it's great and perfect but [TS]

00:59:45 ◼   ► it's it's more frustrating that the [TS]

00:59:47 ◼   ► larger number of apps you use I think [TS]

00:59:49 ◼   ► the fundamental problem of people that [TS]

00:59:52 ◼   ► feel the way that you do is thinking of [TS]

00:59:54 ◼   ► apps as pairs I don't think that Apple [TS]

00:59:57 ◼   ► ever really [TS]

00:59:57 ◼   ► ever really [TS]

01:00:00 ◼   ► you to do that you decided to think of [TS]

01:00:02 ◼   ► it that way on your own right but what I [TS]

01:00:04 ◼   ► mean about the the pairs though is it's [TS]

01:00:08 ◼   ► not the thinking of them as pairs [TS]

01:00:10 ◼   ► it's the switching like here's the use [TS]

01:00:15 ◼   ► cases like I have one major app so it's [TS]

01:00:18 ◼   ► like what I was doing this morning is [TS]

01:00:19 ◼   ► the perfect case so I am watching a [TS]

01:00:22 ◼   ► movie that's a storyboard so this is [TS]

01:00:24 ◼   ► like the main thing that I want to look [TS]

01:00:26 ◼   ► at and then on the side I want to be [TS]

01:00:29 ◼   ► able to switch between three different [TS]

01:00:30 ◼   ► things like I want to have notes that [TS]

01:00:33 ◼   ► I'm taking in bear I need to be able to [TS]

01:00:36 ◼   ► talk to the animator in slack and [TS]

01:00:38 ◼   ► there's a couple of other things where I [TS]

01:00:40 ◼   ► need like I need to bring up good notes [TS]

01:00:41 ◼   ► to be able to make a quick sketch to [TS]

01:00:43 ◼   ► make something that's clear and then [TS]

01:00:45 ◼   ► Dropbox to send a link back to the [TS]

01:00:47 ◼   ► animator who I'm talking in slack but I [TS]

01:00:49 ◼   ► never want to close the the movie that [TS]

01:00:52 ◼   ► I'm watching which is the thing that is [TS]

01:00:54 ◼   ► being comments I like that workflow [TS]

01:00:55 ◼   ► which is still very easy to do on a [TS]

01:00:58 ◼   ► computer is is frustrating because of [TS]

01:01:01 ◼   ► the the time it takes to switch the app [TS]

01:01:04 ◼   ► on the side and it's also frustrating [TS]

01:01:07 ◼   ► because of the inconsistent steps of how [TS]

01:01:11 ◼   ► do I summon these apps like what where [TS]

01:01:14 ◼   ► is this app that I'm trying to summer [TS]

01:01:15 ◼   ► and like let me get it from spotlight [TS]

01:01:17 ◼   ► when I get it from spotlight I have to [TS]

01:01:18 ◼   ► drag it over into just the right spot I [TS]

01:01:20 ◼   ► have to wait for the little animation to [TS]

01:01:22 ◼   ► show me that it's going to go there like [TS]

01:01:23 ◼   ► rapid switching between a few things is [TS]

01:01:26 ◼   ► is noticeably slower than rapid [TS]

01:01:30 ◼   ► switching between a few things was under [TS]

01:01:32 ◼   ► the old system and I want to be really [TS]

01:01:33 ◼   ► clear I'm not asking for that old system [TS]

01:01:36 ◼   ► that's in iOS 10 you could use the [TS]

01:01:39 ◼   ► command tab action to switch out just [TS]

01:01:42 ◼   ► what was in the left pane I understand [TS]

01:01:44 ◼   ► that I do miss that but I don't want it [TS]

01:01:47 ◼   ► back there's other weird consistency [TS]

01:01:50 ◼   ► problems that I sort of thought were [TS]

01:01:52 ◼   ► bugs at first in iOS but I think are not [TS]

01:01:54 ◼   ► bugs which is when you do the command [TS]

01:01:58 ◼   ► tab switcher what apps show up in that [TS]

01:02:01 ◼   ► list doesn't show everything and I don't [TS]

01:02:03 ◼   ► understand what it's supposed to be [TS]

01:02:05 ◼   ► showing that is something that I think [TS]

01:02:06 ◼   ► is wrong however Apple are deciding to [TS]

01:02:09 ◼   ► make that list is is wrong because it [TS]

01:02:12 ◼   ► should [TS]

01:02:13 ◼   ► everything and it should show pairs but [TS]

01:02:16 ◼   ► it doesn't yeah and it should show [TS]

01:02:18 ◼   ► things that I've just touched so it [TS]

01:02:22 ◼   ► feels like this the thing that it seems [TS]

01:02:24 ◼   ► to miss the most is I've summon an app [TS]

01:02:26 ◼   ► from spotlight and dragged it into an [TS]

01:02:29 ◼   ► overview setting or like an OP main view [TS]

01:02:32 ◼   ► and like then it doesn't show up in the [TS]

01:02:34 ◼   ► command switcher it's like I want that [TS]

01:02:36 ◼   ► thing I was just there like that also [TS]

01:02:38 ◼   ► adds to this frustration of trying to [TS]

01:02:40 ◼   ► switch between multiple apps like it's [TS]

01:02:42 ◼   ► so so like I guess this is this is one [TS]

01:02:46 ◼   ► of the things that also just doesn't [TS]

01:02:48 ◼   ► help but like what is my doc setup going [TS]

01:02:49 ◼   ► to be and how am I going to set these [TS]

01:02:51 ◼   ► iPads is the use case where I want to [TS]

01:02:54 ◼   ► have the most number of things I feel [TS]

01:02:57 ◼   ► like I really need to cram the doc full [TS]

01:03:01 ◼   ► of stuff and and this is where you can [TS]

01:03:03 ◼   ► you can see on my everything iPad [TS]

01:03:06 ◼   ► screenshot like I have I have the [TS]
