Do you keep creating the same notes over and over and over again in Apple Notes? 📝 A journal entry, a doctor's appointment, meeting notes... every time you start from scratch. These are the kind of Apple Notes tips, Apple productivity tools, and Mac tips that change how you work forever, because there's a better way: build the note once, and never start from zero again. ✨

In this video, I'm going to show you how to create simple templates that make everything you do in Apple Notes easier 🪄. These aren't complicated power-user tricks. They're practical, everyday templates that turn Apple Notes into a true productivity system the moment you set them up 🧠. Think of it as my one simple rule for working in Notes: never start from zero unless you have to.

We'll build four templates together... a Daily Journal 📔, a Medical Appointments tracker 🩺, a clean Meeting Notes template 🤝, and a YouTube Video Lesson template 🎥.

Along the way, you'll learn the hidden tools that make these templates sing: the formatting tool, tags, auto-sorting checklists, audio recording with transcripts, collapsible sections, and clean web links.

Then I'll close with my MacWhisperer Power Tip... a way to turn all of these templates into a fully linked database that will absolutely blow your mind 🤯.

Yes i do and I copy from one to the other for different trips. Duplicating makes more sense. Also tags are cumbersome when you have a bunch of

This is amazing, I am at the age where my hand has tremors, so taking notes by recording then typing up is a life saver thank you so much

Timing is everything, they say. This videos is indeed timely for me. Having watched a number of videos and reviewing Smart Guides, I was attempting to come up with a method to help me remember the hints, tips, and actions that were important to my needs. Your combination of the MacWhisperer Lesson notes and the MacWhisperer Database note is just what I needed to get me started. THANKS!!

another tip > smart folders that contain all notes with the same hashtag (i.e. your 'macwhisperer' tags); then you have all these notes together in 1 folder

Antes de llegar a la idea de la última plantilla había guardado este vídeo en una lista de reproducción de YouTube 😂, pero joder, ha sido genial ver la última plantilla y darme cuenta de que tengo un montón de listas de reproducción distintas creadas😅, y me ha venido muy bien para aprender algo muy interesante y dejar de crear listas de reproducción, por que normalmente es difícil encontrar algo ni siquiera lo encuentro por qué hay muchos vídeos o está guardado en otra lista, me suscribo al canal, muchas gracias, he aprendido mucho.

Appreciate you, Dylan.
I’ve always struggled with trying to have the right notes and information from all my doctors appointments I think I’m all ready to go when I arrive and then at the end of the appointment I walk out saying what just happened?
I set up your suggestion for the medical template, now I’m walking into my doctor’s appointments with confidence.
