What’s on my Phone? (2026 Productivity Setup)

#iPhoneSetup #Productivity #DigitalMinimalism
In 2006, your device was a phone that occasionally sent texts; in 2026, it’s a multimedia hub that occasionally makes phone calls. The way we use our devices has shifted from simple communication to constant distraction.

In this video, I share my exact iPhone 17 Pro Max setup and why I treat it primarily as a "collection tool" rather than a distraction device. From my 10 essential home-screen apps to my secret Apple Shortcut for capturing content ideas on the go, I’ll show you how I’ve optimised my workflow for 2026.
