Tip of the day: There are various ways to merge individual work steps into a workflow and execute them automatically. One option is to use the smart rules in #DEVONthink. Now we have created the smart rule Import & OCR, which lets you easily import scans and make them searchable. Here you will find out how to set up and use the rule. #automation #paperless #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow devontechnologies.com/blog/202

🤔 This is a good read, about investing in the longevity of one's skills and understanding; versus honing the ability to make convincing illusions.

Tip of the day: Apple’s mobile platform and devices are built for touch.

One of the benefits of importing into a date-based folder structure with #Lightroom Classic is that it also makes selecting which photos to import a lot faster and easier. I think it’s interesting even if you’re not using a date-based organization, so I made a short 6-minute video demonstration.

Tip of the day: Sometimes a visualization is helpful to see the connections between things, e.g., between different documents. One of our intrepid community members created a script for #DEVONthink that allows you to generate a network graph showing interconnecting links between documents. Here is a brief overview. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow #zettelkasten devontechnologies.com/blog/202
