Open work YouTube playlists

If you don’t want the Grab YouTube playlist ID shortcut installed, delete the Run Shortcut action above and the URL action below.

However, the shortcut won’t work with links from videos inside playlists anymore.

Shortcut Information

Use this shortcut to pull only from the work-related playlists you’ve saved in the YouTube Playlist Dictionary and jump right in to learn something productive.

I use this to skip past all of my personal playlists that get in the way when I’m trying to instead do something work-related – it also encourages me to research and get through more work-related material than I would otherwise.
