I use Shortcuts on iOS/ iPadOS and Keyboard Maestro on macOS and Applescript/ Javascript on both platforms. The enablers for this way of working are OmniFocus 3 (the heart of the enabling system as task manager), Drafts 5 (for writing), DevonThink 3 (for reference files and knowledge center). However, this working method’s enabling system setups are not simply due to the used apps’ rich functionality. I fully embrace the goal to keep the “way of workings” as simple as possible. Way of working keeping simple as possible – ESSA. You can find these by clicking the underlined/bold lines above. I have written several blog posts to explain some guiding principles further with videos and links to Shortcuts. Programming is a real profession, and I am “not fit” for that job I am grateful to all the wonderful people in the community. In the Shortcuts/ Macro’s and Applescripts, you will find the source if I used the concept of “Copy, Improve, Paste” (or so-called the Chinese way). I pay great respect and acknowledge used sources but adapt this to my own needs and philosophy, not being dogmatic about it. Use proven concepts like GTD, Franklin Covey, etc., and public available sources in the virtual community (tools/ scripts/ Shortcuts/macros, etc.).Line of thinking: Eliminate, Simplify, Standardise and Automate (ESSA).Use proven technology, every app on every device synchronized with each other, all the time.Avoid distraction as much as I can by adopting contextual computing.Needs routine/ rhythm and must be and remain trusted (peace of mind, regularity, rhythm, and cleanliness).Not alone, just “doing stuff” or “getting things done.” Support the aspirational “thinking/feeling/doing” of creating value in private life and working life.My guiding principles for “way of working” with an enabling system are: Coaching messages – iPad settings of OmniFocus.How David Allan’s sketched are translated into the enabling system.My Guiding principles for setting up a trusted way of working.Below you can click on (underlined/ bold text) the subject of your interest or continue reading the whole post (if you dare): Index Every device is synchronized with iCloud and Dropbox (the latter for scanned documents and DevonThink) and contains the same information.
