👋 Hello!
This is issue #39 of Taskflow Tuesday, where I share 3 things that can help you to get digitally organized so that you can spend more time on what truly matters.
🎙️ 1. Listen to iMessage Voice Memos at 2x Speed
Did you know that iMessage has a hidden feature that allows you to listen to voice memos at 2x speed? This is a total game-changer for those longer messages.
Here's how to use it:
1️⃣ When you receive a voice memo in iMessage, hold down the Play button.
2️⃣ A menu will pop up with the option to change the playback speed.
3️⃣ Select 2x speed to double the pace of the message!
You’re welcome. 🤝
📱 2. Desaturated vs. Black & White
For the past few months, I’ve reduced my screen saturation by 60%, and it's made a noticeable difference in my screen time.
Here’s why: bright colors are designed to grab your attention, keeping you hooked. But desaturating the colors reduces the visual intensity without losing the ability to differentiate between them. It's a more balanced approach than grayscale, which can feel too stark.
Here’s how you can do it:
1️⃣ Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.
2️⃣ Select Color Filters, and toggle the switch on.
3️⃣ Adjust the Intensity slider until you find a level that’s comfortable—around 60% is a good balance.
This subtle tweak has helped me stay less distracted and more intentional with my phone use. It’s a small change that makes a big difference!
