Does anyone know of a Workflow/Shortcuts replacement for Joe Buhlig’s AppleScript, ReadBookTasks?
Background: there are a lot of books I want to read, but I need some structure or else they’ll always be delayed. So, I want to turn them into projects with date deliverables.
In an ideal world, I’m seeking a project template that first asks me to name the book, the number of pages, and the date I wish to finish. Then it would create an OF project "Read: “Book Name” and a series of subtasks assigning me the calculated number of pages to read each day (number of pages divided by the number of days between start and end date) … complete with defer and due dates set to the same day so that each subtask appears on the due date but not before.
I’m comfortable with the asking-for-inputs part of Workflow, but at a complete loss on how to script the calculations and then push with defer and due dates to OF.
In the most recent Automators, David Sparks mentioned a book-reading project, but I don’t recall seeing it in the show notes.
Any pointers would be appreciated!
