I’ve written before about a Boss Review Shortcut, a way to make it easier for me to prepare for meetings with my boss at work, but I have since expanded this to work with members of my team as well. I also had a great time discussing this with David Sparks and Rosemary Orchard on Automators episode 49.
This 1-1 Prep Email Shortcut presents a dictionary of people choices, allows me to pick, and then finds anything tagged with their name in OmniFocus to build an email to them around.
Taken further (but less easily shared with all of you here), this could be connected to a reusable Data Jar dictionary, like I’ve talked about in a previous post. A great way to ensure consistency in data, as well as to update existing Shortcuts quickly with new team members, and a huge time saver in exploring potential new Shortcuts.
