It's been a while since I posted my original entry and my workflow on Zettelkasten. Since then, my methods have evolved into a system that's working incredibly well for me. So, I thought I'd write about what I'm doing so others may use (and improve) my methods. This entry is an update to Zettelkasten Management 2022 using Obsidian, Drafts, and Devonthink — Workflows in Personal and Professional Productivity.

In an earlier entry, I discussed how I initially set up my Zettelkasten, using The Archive, Drafts, and Obsidian. However, my workflow has evolved over the last few years. This entry will explain my current workflow using Drafts, Obsidian, and Devonthink, including the capture, curation, linking, and tagging of zettels.

One of the most popular entries on WIPPP has been my 2015 Writing Workflow. My workflow has changed substantially over the last several years. I thought I'd share what I'm currently doing.

I have been consuming a massive amount of information from books, podcasts, manuscripts, and other sources. What can I say? I love learning. I especially love learning about the microbiome, functional foods, integrative medicine, technology, and science.

I’ve written often about my love of Devonthink. Over the years, it has become an indispensable part of my digital life. Only recently, I discovered the power of Devonthink’s RSS capabilities. Devonthink RSS is the topic of today’s entry.

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering changing web content. Many news-related sites, blogs, and publishers syndicate their content as RSS feeds. Many of my colleagues use freestanding RSS readers like Feedly to collect their content. I’ve tried many of the stand-alone readers, but Devonthink is clearly superior because of its search and AI capabilities.

Here how I use Devonthink RSS.

Over the years, I tried several times to learn Workflow app. I didn’t have the patience. I’d start experimenting, but invariably, the app would hang, I would get frustrated not knowing what I was doing wrong, and I’d quit. After Apple purchased Workflow and reintroduced it as [Shortcuts](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shortcuts/id915249334), I knew I was missing out. I tried building a few simple automations but failed.

I have been working on a new website ([HealthHippieMD](http://healthhippiemd.com/)) and have a growing need for automating the technology in my life. I knew I had to learn Shortcuts, but given my past experience, I was dreading the process—both the frustration and the time I knew it was going to take.

All of us eat. To eat, most of us must grocery shop.

Years ago, as a result of my obsession with anti-inflammatory foods, I began cooking more meals. I found myself spending much more time in grocery stores.

I would find a recipe on my phone or iPad and take a screenshot, so I knew what ingredients I needed to purchase. Alternately, I would tell my Amazon Echo to add the items to my shopping list. Once I got to the store, my list was a jumbled mess. I’d find myself roaming back and forth between isles.

Then I came across an intriguing application called AnyList.. Although Anylist is useful for any of your list needs, the best part of the app focuses on recipes and shopping.
