The most recent cortex had some interesting ideas: https://www.relay.fm/cortex/75 https://www.relay.fm/cortex/75
I just made one for launching safari. It prompts me to nap, walk, go to google with a 3 min timer, or go to hacker news with a 10 min timer.
Basically, I shouldn’t be on safari on my phone in most cases: it’s my #1 time sink. I’m hoping this will make me more intentional about use. The walk and nap options lead to notes I wrote to myself.
I’ll eventually start having it log time and number of opens.

Personally, I found it hard to get started with shortcuts, because it’s such a blank canvas. A more fruitful way to start might be to ask “what frustrates me about my phone” or “what do I do repeatedly”. Then see if it can be automated - a surprising number of things can be now. The subreddit for shortcuts is a great help. Seeing what cgpgrey in cortex did really opened my mind to the potential.
