इस एपिसोड के बारे में
Robin Kai, based in Munich, Germany, is a husband, dad, and writer on Medium and at ForMacUsers.com. He's built a simple, flexible system around Apple's built-in apps that actually fits real life: family, day job, and side projects.
In this episode, Robin walks us through how he captures tasks without thinking about it, organizes them into a structure that doesn't require daily upkeep, and builds a custom "today" view that shows exactly what matters — without the noise.
Topics covered:
- Why Robin left third-party apps like Remember the Milk and Wunderlist behind
- His inbox-first capture method and weekly Friday review
- How he uses folders (groups) in Reminders to separate work, side hustle, and family
- The "Your Day" and "Growth" smart list setup for a cleaner today view
- Month → Week → Priorities planning cadence
- Connecting Reminders to Notes for project context
- What Robin is most excited about from WWDC 2026: AI-powered Shortcuts and Safari improvements
- Tom's own journey from Evernote + OmniFocus to Craft tasks
