Add to List Shortcut

OmniFocus is my trusted system for tracking all of my commitments, as well as my “someday, maybes” and a number of other lists that I have. A while back I started using a set of “Idea Lists” that work really well for me to capture things like books to consider, shows to watch, restaurants to visit, gift ideas, and whatever else. These lists are a form of a “someday, maybe” because they are not actionable, but they are very specific to a thing where someday buckets are broader.

I want to make it as simple as possible to get things into these lists so I made one of my most simple and frequently used Shortcuts — “Add to List”. I find this super helpful and thought I would share. It relies on you have a Folder in OmniFocus where you keep these kind of lists. The magic is that it makes it super easy to capture into the right list and stay in the flow of what you are working on. For me, having it display a menu of lists and being integrated into the share sheet removes a lot of friction.

You can add the Add to List shortcut.

I love the words play and tinker.

It is very important for me to have projects that I can play and tinker with.

Thankfully I have more than enough of them. 😆

It was cool to be featured on Buttondown’s customer stories about how I use it for the Weekly Thing.

I gave Gemini “Thinking 3 Pro” and Nano Banana Pro a more interesting question tonight. I asked it:

Please create an infographic that explains how I create the Weekly Thing. Use these three blog posts as your foundation for the process:

The result is incredible. It has one error on the “Delete” step and how that connects to Pinboard.

We saw Wicked For Good at the Edina 4 theatre tonight. Stellar movie, as good if not better than the first one. Definitely one to go to the theater for.
