Spotlight search operators

with Spotlight diving right into an example if I just type in hot Spotlight returns a bunch of random results from contacts to folders to photos of hot models but if I type kind setting hot instead Spotlight brings me to the Hot Corner setting directly which was what I was actually looking for other than settings I find myself filtering most frequently for contacts events folders PDF documents and images you can also use the arrow keys to navigate the results press space to preview and confirm this is the file you're looking for and press command enter to instantly bring up the file in finder Pro tip you

Search the web with Spotlight

can also search the web directly from Spotlight by first typing in the search term press command B and this brings up your default browser and search engine All In one step and that's not all if I

Spotlight shortcuts

typee in the word focus in Spotlight I can use my enter key to toggle on and off they do not disturb Focus shortcut as needed if you don't see this option by default head on over to my Mac shortcuts video where you can make a copy of all my shortcuts for free I use the empty downloads folder shortcut every single day and if you don't like

Spotlight settings for productivity

the location of the spotlight search bar you can drag it to wherever you want and it'll stay there until you hold down option and the spotlight icon here and it'll pop back to the center Pro tip head on over to kind setting Spotlight go to Siri and Spotlight settings scroll all the way down and uncheck Siri suggestions tips and websites to declutter your results moving over to productivity tips on Safari you might already know that you can click on file
1:50

Webapp workflow

add to Doc to create a web app you can access directly from your dock but in my opinion this is actually not that helpful until you realize you can now run this new web app directly from Spotlight saving you from having to open up a browser and click on the tab and this is how I access chat GPT directly from Spotlight Pro tip if you want to uninstall web apps simply search for them in Spotlight command enter to reveal their location in finder and drag them to the trash or my personal favorite the completely free app cleaner app pro tip if you right click on an app within the application's folder show package contents resources you now have access to a highdefinition image of their app icon back in Safari

Safari settings for productivity

settings Under tabs uh selecting after one week under automatically close tabs means Safari will automatically close all tabs you haven't viewed in a week and under search I choose do Dogo for my private browsing search engine for some um uh extra privacy next up how do you use airdrop more productively first open

Add Airdrop to Finder

up any final window right click customize toolbar and simply drag the airdrop icon up to the toolbar click done and now this allows you to airdrop any file from the finer window directly while we're here let's bring up Spotlight kind setting airdrop and handoff enable handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices so if you copy texts links or images on your Mac you can paste those elements directly in your iPhone Pro tip one of my favorite
3:30

Free Airdrop alternative

free apps for the Mac is Drop Zone I can drag multiple files towards the meni bar to airdrop them or leave them safe and sound in this drop bar add more files in different formats and I can then move this combined batch to a new location or air drop them a workflow I use on a daily basis is right click an image in Safari copy subject command V to paste the image without background in Drop Zone open up an image editing tool create a meme and send to girls I love like in order to ask them out 60% of the time it works every time by the way this video is not sponsored by any of these apps but it is supported by those of you who subscribe to my paid productivity newsletter on Google tips Link in the description to learn more all right now let's use the notes app more productively first up you're probably

How to use Apple Notes productively

already familiar with a keyboard shortcut for adding hyperlinks command K but you probably didn't know that even without any text selected you can press command K to link to another note by typing in that note's title and it looks something like this Pro tip you can use the keyboard shortcut double angle bracket to quickly link to an existing note or to create and link to a completely new note you might have also noticed all my notes have tags at the top here this allows me to create smart folders that automatically organize my notes based on those tags for example all new meeting notes are automatically added to the meeting notes smart folder if you end up manually searching for a note simply type in the first few letters of that note title and you'll jump directly to that note this also works if you're looking for a file in finder and if you're trying to find a specific font within a Mac app I like to
5:10

Apple Notes settings for productivity

use a new formatting options in notes for a more structured look and if we bring up Spotlight kind setting accessibility display text size I select the biggest font size for notes because by default if you create a new note the font size is Tiny oh you can also manually change a size by pressing command shift period or comma but I don't want to do that every time and here are three bonus settings to enable for a more productive MacBook first up
