Capture task
Prompts you to type in or dictate a task if run from Siri, then asks you to choose between “Work” and “Personal” – Work sends the task to the Things inbox, Personal sends it to a Reminders list called Inbox.
Shortcut Information
I use this to keep my work and personal tasks in separate apps, while not needing to decide whether a task falls into one of those categories before I can capture the text – I just tap on the shortcut, capture it, and then decide where it goes.
