All right, for this shortcut,
what we're gonna do is put our iPad in study mode right.
To allow us to choose how much time we're gonna study.
Put it in Do Not Disturb mode, play some music, take it off, Do Not Disturb mode.
So that we can get some studying done and not be distracted by notifications and
pop-ups.
All right, so I'm in my Shortcuts app, I'm gonna go ahead and
hit the plus sign to get started.
The first thing that we're gonna do, is we're going to ask for input.
And what that means what we're gonna do is we're gonna prompt our iPads to ask us
a question.
So the first thing I wanna do, is I wanna change it from text.
And I actually wanna make it into number.
And then, I'm gonna ask a question however you want to ask it.
So maybe how many minutes do you want to study?
All right now what I'm gonna also hit then is show more.
And this allows me to do a few things one to have a default.
Do I have a time and amount of time I like to study for it?
I'm gonna go ahead and put that in.
So I'm just gonna put 20, 20 minutes at a time, maybe take a break and
then kind of run it again, right.
So what I'm gonna do though, is also unselect allow decimal numbers, and
allow negative numbers.
All right, the next thing I'm gonna add, is start timer.
Go ahead and drag that in.
So where's the start timer?
What I'm gonna do though,
is I'm gonna actually then look down to my selected variable bar.
And I'm gonna actually say provided input, and
see how it connected it to the time before.
I wanna make sure it is in minutes and that is correct.
Sometimes you do have to change it from seconds to minutes.
So it just depends on what you've recently done.
All right, the next thing I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna add a date.
So this is really just a behind the scenes move where I'm setting
basically a variable, right.
I'm saying this is the current date and
that's what I want as it is already selected, as essentially it's a variable.
But now what I wanna do is adjust that date and time which is why I'm using it.
So, here I added my adjust date, I want to be add which is true for
that middle bar where it currently set zero.
I want to be provided input right which is what we said before.
I definitely need to switch it to minutes.
All right, and then lastly,
I wanna make sure that it is date, okay.
But the thing I wanna change in here is that where it says time format,
I wanna make that long.
All right, good.
So I made that long.
So I've adjusted my current date to 20 minutes later,
right based upon my input, right.
So maybe it's not telling us it's whatever the input was.
All right now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set Do Not Disturb mode.
All right, and then instead of off because I wanna turn it on, I'm gonna toggle that.
And then instead of turned off, I'm gonna choose time.
So now that I have time, in that last box, I'm actually gonna choose adjusted date.
And again, I'm gonna make sure the time format is set to long and then done.
All right, now what I wanna do is I actually, cuz I usually like to listen to
music when I'm studying, like lo-fi music, without words to distract me.
And then sometimes I don't.
So I wanna make myself some options, so I'm gonna actually choose from menu.
All right, and then this is where I can ask myself another
question like, do you want music for your studying?
Alright, so then I have a few options.
So this is first prompt, I'm just gonna then just go ahead and say yes,
the next one is gonna be no.
So that basically makes two menus and I'm not even gonna use the no menu.
[LAUGH] I'm not even gonna worry about it.
So yes is where I am worried about it cuz that's where I wanna turn on kind
of music.
But if I'm using my music app, I don't wanna just to pick up where I left off.
I wanna to actually select a specific playlists, and the first thing that I
wanna do just to make sure it works properly is clear my up next,
clear what's supposed to be coming, clear my queue.
So I'm gonna go ahead and slide that in under the yes menu.
Then I'm gonna go ahead and say get playlist.
And this allows me to select the playlist and that's what I'm gonna go ahead and
I know what my playlist is. Perfect.
So I put that there as well.
Now that I have cleared the queue, I have my playlist.
That's when I then say, play music.
And then because I dragged it right underneath it says play that playlist.
But then I have a few options here as you can see, it says show more.
I do want to shuffle because I like it when it starts a new song every time and
I want to repeat.
No, I don't need to repeat every time I run this cuz my playlist is too long, so
it doesn't matter.
But I just said none, just because, all right.
I'm actually done with actually building this shortcut.
So I'm gonna go over to the meatball menu at the top and I'm gonna name it.
All right, we can change it, right however we want it to be, perfect.
Now make sure things have permission like music does here.
Let me go ahead and say done.
And then if I go ahead and run this and I don't have to do it here,
I could do it with a widget right, like you saw before.
But then I could go ahead and press play.
How long do I want to play for?
Let's just say I want to play for one minute, done.
So there we go.
So as you can see at the top it already put on,
it already put on Do Not Disturb mode.
As you can see the little half moon came up at the top there.
And then I wanna say yes, I do want music for studying and
then it ran through opened up my music.
So what we could also see is it actually does set your timer.
So if I go ahead and go to my clock there,
it did do that one minute timer as I kinda wanted it to.
Right, so let's go back though.
Let's just say I'm working on my iPad.
I'm doing plenty of studying, studious things.
My timer is about up.
And then at that same time though,
it should also turn off my Do Not Disturb mode.
I also want to leave the app to show you that you could leave the shortcuts app for
this to actually happen.
All right, so my timer is there.
I'm gonna go ahead and stop it as it is also off of the Do Not Disturb mode, so
there we made our great shortcut to put your iPad in study mode.
