All in with Apple Productivity Apps (Mail, Notes, Reminders, Calendar)

Hi,

I have a few Shortcuts I am working on to create Notes.

Here is the output of a work in progress to convert my Obsidian Daily Journal entry to Apple Notes

The Shortcut will create a new note in a folder called Journal. If the note already exists for the day it will add a new Timestamp & Weather entry so I can record a call, observation etc
.
Another example is a Shortcut that creates a daily Standup Report. This report includes responses to question prompts and auto-populates completed and open Reminders tasks (using a Work tag filter) and shows meetings scheduled in my Work Calendar. The output from the Shortcut can be shared to Email, Messages, Notes etc.

I am actually on a kick at the moment to revert to using Apple’s apps wherever possible. With the advent of Shortcuts going cross-platform, I am looking to enhance Apple’s productivity apps by replicating and improving on third-party app features. Mail is my next focus as I want to remove plugins causing issues but retain their features wherever possible.

Anyway, if anyone wants any assistance or further details of the above routines, give me a shout.
