I swear SOMETHING broke in society since 2020-2021 and nobody wants to talk about it. And I’m not talking about masks, lockdowns, or COVID. I mean the FEELING of life. Everything reopened. We went back to work. Restaurants filled up. Events came back. But somehow life still feels… different. Years disappear faster. People feel more disconnected. Everything feels more expensive, stressful & rushed. And somehow we’re all constantly exhausted. I can’t even explain exactly what we lost. I just know life before 2020-2021 felt more ALIVE. Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this. Leave your feelings.

Yeah. Try it.

The hardest lessons in mastering Apple's ecosystem don't have to be learned the hard way. If you want more unfiltered breakdowns on iOS Shortcuts, hardware controls, and building your mobile tech stack, hit Follow @Walkercoder so you never miss a drop. 🚀 Which of these 10 rules hit you the hardest today? Drop a number in the replies 👇

10/ Optimize your battery and storage before the storm hits. Ignoring your battery health and storage limits feels fine right up until the moment you try recording 4K 120fps video of a once-in-a-lifetime event. When space becomes urgent, it is already too late. Offload your files to an SSD today.

9/ Anchor your phone to a core purpose. Whether it is capturing cinematic video, managing your Stripe payouts, or strict security—treating your phone as an endless doom-scroller is a fragile foundation. You need a primary use-case that exists outside of cheap dopamine to justify the hardware.

8/ Automate in total silence. Stop manually triggering every routine. Setting up automated Focus Modes and background tasks frees up your brain. Set the location triggers, let iOS do the work in the dark, and let the efficiency speak for itself.

7/ Decouple the Apple logo from your tech identity. Upgrading to the latest Pro max on a random Tuesday won't make you a better creator. Stop treating every new hardware drop as the missing piece of your talent. It’s just glass and titanium. Master the software you have and move on.

6/ Master your Action Button. Having a customizable hardware button isn't a gimmick. Once you stop using it for the flashlight and map it to a multi-step workflow—like recording audio, transcribing it via AI, and saving it to Notes—you become a one-person production studio.

5/ Lock down your device before it’s gone. If a thief can swipe your phone and access your Binance or banking apps, it’s not an ecosystem—it’s a liability. Stop wasting time on wallpaper widgets. Invest that energy into building iOS security Shortcuts that instantly lock your device and trigger alarms the second it leaves your trusted Wi-Fi.

4/ Stop waiting for the "perfect" lighting. ProRAW and ProRes aren't prerequisites for action. They are the tools you leverage after you learn basic sensor dynamics. If you wait until you understand every slider in the camera app to start shooting, you are going to wait forever.
