Those who regularly view financial information often open the same websites and apps. This takes little time, but it can cause distraction. With the Assignments app on your iPhone you can combine these actions into one fixed routine. This way you can open your chosen sources with one tap, start a short timer and make room for a note. The assignment itself does not carry out any financial transactions. You decide which sources you open and which information you use. This means that control remains clear and you remain in control.

Start a new assignment

Open the Shortcuts app and tap the plus sign at the top right. Give the assignment a clear name, such as ‘Daily market check’. Via ‘Add task’ you can place several steps one after the other. Each step performs a small action. Together they form one working method. Start with a task to open a URL. Then add the web addresses of reliable information sources you want to view. You can also use ‘Open app’ if you prefer to open a financial app. Check in advance whether the app comes from the official App Store and see what information the provider requests. Who deals with buy bitcoinwill have to deal with different providers, costs and security methods. A command helps to always open information sources in the same order. The assignment does not evaluate the provider for you and does not execute a purchase.

Give the check a fixed period of time

After opening the resources, add a timer. Five or ten minutes is often enough to review the most important information. The timer prevents you from switching between apps and websites without a clear purpose. You can start the assignment manually from the Assignments app. You can also add her to the home screen or activate her via Siri. A personal automation can be linked to a time, location, or setting on your iPhone. Depending on the setting, the command will be executed or your iPhone will first ask for confirmation. Choose a moment when you pay attention to the information. A check during work or just before going to sleep can provide additional distraction. A fixed time makes individual reports less important.

Add a short note

A market audit becomes more useful when you record what you viewed. Therefore, add a task at the end of the assignment that allows you to enter text. Save this text to Notes or add it to an existing document.

You can describe what source you used, what change you saw, and why that information was relevant. When viewing the bitcoin rate it is wise to also note the date and time. Prices can move significantly. A single number therefore says little without the right context. The note does not have to be an extensive financial report. A few clear sentences make it visible how often you check and what information catches your attention.

Limit notifications around your check-up time

Racing apps can send many notifications. Therefore, check the iPhone settings per app to see which notifications you need. You can customize notification badges, sounds, and notifications on the Lock screen individually. A Focus mode can only allow selected apps and people through during your check. Afterwards, switch this mode off again. This way, your daily assignment remains a clear information moment and your iPhone requires less attention outside that moment. Check the assignment occasionally. Remove resources you no longer use and adjust the timer if the routine takes too long. If you share the assignment with someone else, first check which URLs, apps and personal steps it contains.
