I have an Apple Shortcut I run every morning cleverly named "Morning". When it is clicked, it sets me up for a new day. It chooses random dumbbell exercises. It chooses a random drum rudiment to focus on for the day. It chooses a random grammar pattern to study in Japanese for the day. It also prompts me to write one sentence for a One Sentence Journal.
Everyone's routine is different, so yours will be different. The shortcut recipe I lean on for this is this:
- Add a text file to Shortcuts.
- Fill the file with a bunch of things you want to randomly select from.
- Put each thing on a separate line.
In a new shortcut, add a Get file from folder action and point it to your text file. - Add a Split text by new lines action.
- Add a Get Item From List action and set it to random.
The text files are so light and easy to mess around with. You can create an infinite amount of them. I use this pattern a lot to randomize daily things so notifications don't become monotonous.

Set up a Pomodoro timer called “Mini-Tomato" that is 10 minutes cleaning up files on the laptop and 10 minutes cleaning up the place.
Unnecessary, inefficient, and fun.
