This is great! How did you avoid pulling in calendar events that weren’t meetings?

Good content, intro too long

I came for the Peak Design (small) Tech Pouch review, I stayed for the BongoTies 😂 Seriously though, this video is a gem. The production quality is top-notch: chapters, subtitles (which are *so* rare even on bigger channels), B-roll using a coin for scale, and so on; love those thoughtful details. I actually found this video through your review on the Peak Design website, btw. Not only did I hit the like button, but I’m also subscribing (even though I’m not an Apple user or a productivity optimizer myself) because this channel deserves way more eyeballs. btw, I never leave comments on videos, but this one was so good for a sub-1K-subscriber channel it felt wrong not to make an exception. Keep up the amazing work, Mike! ✨🤖

You’ve just made my life 🎉 Why hadn't I thought to use Chat GPT when trying to figure out my keyboard, Maestro macros (duh!)? You should post a blog on the prompts you used. Or maybe you have. I'm just about to go check out your blog. I'm so glad I stumbled across this ❤️

Cool

Thank you so much bro, was deeply confused about how to customize it after the widget was there

Mike, thank you very much for this content. I'm working on getting my productivity in place. I love the simple ideas. The only direct piece of feedback I have is that your background music loop is repeating again and again and again and again. I like to listen on one and a half speed, and the music is distractingly annoying. I don't have a good solution for you other than you know perhaps a loop that doesn't repeat quite so quickly or you know maybe pull it back in the mix a little bit. As it stands I'm going to work with transcripts. I hate complaining about something that's free and useful, but when you remove the music from the mix at around 16:42, it just was so much more pleasant. You have a nice voice and you have what seems to be a reasonable setup for recording. I know that background music can be an important thing to do but I do think that you might want to approach it differently. :)

Mike do you have a keyboard maestro set up to do the following. Set Keynote as the active program and then advance slide. Also make eCamm the active program and the run a hotkey to change to a certain scene? I haven’t seen in maestro how to make a program active.

I don't see window management as an option, just downloaded the trial to give it a go. Any thoughts here?

Watched this after reading your article on the Things 3 Parser. Good stuff. I appreciate it.

that was great!

This was enormously helpful. Thank you.

Hi Mike, enjoy your content, im trying to use keyboard maestro to batch straighten pictures in pixelmator pro but cant get simulate key strokes to work, manualy they work, but not in KBM. Any ideas ?

Thanks Mike, another well done video! Keep it up!

Exactly what I was looking for tysm:)

Thank you so much for this video and the links. I am super new to OmniFocus and Macros and now I feel like I am a bit ahead of the game.

how can i make it open instanly whenever am studying for example?

Mike can you send me this for things 3?

Good idea 👍🏻 Would be great if you zoom in on the content when recording , like for me watching it on a phone 😎 Otherwise good video editing and nice short intro 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

Just downloaded the trial version and got some ideas from you 👍🏻 Not a TH-camr myself, so you are one step ahead of me 😉 What I think would be good though is to jump straight into the content so people stay on the video, then do self promoting later. Subscribed to get you going. Good luck!

Mike can you please add the Thanksgiving template and keyboard Maestro below? Thanks

Love this idea but could you do this with Things 3 instead of omnifocus?

Thank you

Would I be able to do this for Things 3?

Mike- Do you know of a way I can have tasks available depending on the weather ?

Fantastic, thank you 😊 this is going to be very useful. The possibilities are endless.

Ok, how do you get drafts to be an option to select for the Lock Screen modules? Mine only shows seven app options

Thanks Mike, will give this a try with Things. Did you make new versions of your email Keyboard Meastro processing automation for Things?

Hey your screen is much larger so when you screen record, everything looks small. I would recommend either use zoom effect or better, zoom entire screen so it would look as if you're recording on 13 inch MacBook.

Oh my goodness, this appeared at the best time!

Thank you! Your use of current and adjusted dates solved the problem I was having trying to create my own Pomodoro automation (triggered by an NFC tag on my computer!), but you really stole my productivity systems-loving heart when you added the “frogs” vs “quick wins” script. 😍

Great info but I stopped watching half way because of all the self promoting. It's really off putting.

Hi Mike. Thank you very much for your video, it has helped me too much. I find myself dabbling in automation and your videos have given me great ideas to clear the way.

Great ideas. Sadly, the link to the web site doesn't work.

Спасибо! Попробую сделать что-то похожее в мак ос

Thank’s Mike 🙏👍😊

Thanks for this video. This is a great idea. I’m doing something similar with Siri Shortcuts using Craft, Things, & Carrot for a daily journal.

I realise this is over 18 months old! But thanks! I have not used Hazel for ages and it reminded me what to do ! Thanks!

very nice video thank you

I do something very similar - ";mon " (with a space) expands to the date of the Monday after today e.g. "Monday 29-3-2021". Then ";nmon " expands to the next Monday after that, and ";lmon " expands to the date of last Monday. And of course I have the same set up for the other days of the week (so 21 shortcuts total, plus ";tod " for today). That covers me for a week in the past and two weeks in the future, which is pretty much eveything I need for emails etc. I also have ";dd " to expand to today's date in DD-MM-YYYY format e.g. "26-03-2021" and ";dr " to expand to the reverse order e.g. "2021-03-26" (handy for filenames on things like photos or receipts that you'll want to sort by date). And ";dt " and ";dtr " for date/time stamps, like yours :-). I definitely prefer YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format like you, but sometimes other humans handle DD-MM-YYYY better :-). Since I receive a lot of files from other people via email and save them in project folders, I have a Keyboard Maestro shortcut ⌃⌥⌘-D for the Finder that renames all selected files, prepending their name with the YYYY-MM-DD date. That helps separate the various versions of the same file when they send a revised version later. Anyway, thanks for the videos, and keep up the great work!

Mike, I’ve just become subscriber 33. This is one of the few shortcuts sites that talk to the more advanced user, and the content is relevant to my current work. I wish you much success with your channel.

Thank you super useful. What other macros do you ordinarily use?

Hey, Mike Burke. it's a exceptionally intriguing video. thanks. :)

Nice video. I appreciate your effort and got some good information. Maybe turn the background music down next time? Thanks

Great video. Thanks for posting. Do you have the shortcut shared for a download?
