“#How to Set Up and Use the Google Assistant Workday Routine”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"workday<\/p>\n

Staying on task while working can be a challenge, especially at home, and it\u2019s not just about productivity. Getting up to move around and drinking water is important too. Automate reminders for these things with the Google Assistant \u201cWorkday\u201d routine<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\u201cRoutines\u201d are a feature built into the Google Assistant and Nest smart speakers and displays. They enable you to create a string of actions to be executed with a single command or at set times. They can be extremely powerful if you take some time to set them up.<\/p>\n

Open the Google Home app<\/a> on your\u00a0iPhone<\/a>,\u00a0iPad<\/a>, or\u00a0Android<\/a>\u00a0device and then tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

Select \u201cAssistant Settings\u201d from the menu.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

Depending on your device, you\u2019ll either see settings in a single long list or organized by tabs. In the tabbed interface, go to the \u201cAssistant\u201d tab. Skip this step if you see only a long list.<\/p>\n

\"go<\/p>\n

Select \u201cRoutines\u201d from the list.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

You may see a section at the top for \u201cNew Routines to Try.\u201d If \u201cWorkday\u201d is not listed there, scroll down and select it from the \u201cReady-Made\u201d section.<\/p>\n

\"workday<\/p>\n

There are a few different sections on the Workday routine page. We\u2019ll go through them all to set it up. First, toggle the switch on at the top to \u201cEnable Routine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"switch<\/p>\n

Next, we need to decide which days of the week the Workday routine will run. Tap the days listed under \u201cWhen The Day(s) Are.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

Select all the days to run the routine each week and then tap \u201cOK.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"choose<\/p>\n

Now we need to choose where Google Assistant will play responses. You\u2019ll want to select the device that will be near you during the workday. Tap the drop-down menu under \u201cPlay Assistant Responses With\u201d and choose a device.<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

You can also check the box to \u201cGet Notified on Your Phone\u201d when the routine runs. This will ensure you get notified if you\u2019re not near the chosen device.<\/p>\n

\"get<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s time to configure what the Workday routine will actually do. You\u2019ll notice that Google has already set up a number of time slots and actions. You can edit any of these by tapping the Gear icon next to them.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

There will be different options depending on the action. First, edit the time slots that determine when actions will run. These time slots are usually for breaks and meals throughout the day.<\/p>\n

\"edit<\/p>\n

Next, edit the \u201cSay Something\u201d commands. This is what Google Assistant will recite over the device at the chosen time. Common examples are \u201cIt\u2019s time to stand up and stretch\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s time for lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"edit<\/p>\n

To remove or re-organize time slots and actions in bulk, tap the \u201cModify\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

Scroll through the list and remove anything you don\u2019t want by tapping the \u201cX\u201d icon.<\/p>\n

\"remove<\/p>\n

To change the order in which Assistant will run the commands, tap and drag the handles on the left side.<\/p>\n

\"move<\/p>\n

You also have the option to \u201cAdd Action\u201d for each time slot.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

You can enter any command that you can give to Google Assistant and then tap \u201cAdd.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"enter<\/p>\n

To add a new time slot to the routine, scroll down to the very bottom and tap \u201cAdd New Time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"select<\/p>\n

First, you\u2019ll be asked to choose a time or enter a custom time. Tap \u201cNext\u201d when done.<\/p>\n

\"choose<\/p>\n

Next, you can add your first action. Enter any command you can give Google Assistant, or browse popular actions. Tap \u201cAdd\u201d when finished.<\/p>\n

\"enter<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re happy with all the time slots and actions, select the \u201cSave\u201d button at the top of the page.<\/p>\n

\"tap<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! The Workday routine will now run at your designated times and help you throughout the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
