Automation: Accountability Ping

Use the Shortcuts app + Personal Automations to send a daily “Did you ___ yet?” text with zero effort.

Example I run: every day at sunset my iPhone pings Mike asking if he made a beat yet. You could swap the recipient, schedule weekly, or change the question.

Basic steps

  1. Open Shortcuts → Automation → + → Create Personal Automation.
  2. Choose Time of Day (e.g., at sunset, weekly, etc.).
  3. Add action Messages → Send Message.
  4. Write the accountability prompt and pick the contact.
  5. Toggle Ask Before Running → Off so it fires automatically.

Now your phone does the nagging for you.
