Scripts, Shortcuts, or Nothing?!? How do you operate?!

Do you use AppleScript/Script Editor, Shortcuts App, Siri or just open files and apps and docs by clicking on them and moving them?

I am trying to be more productive and organized and to use notes, reminders, calendars and files more effectively, but I really want to automate some advanced random tasks that I can’t find any examples for.

and really I can’t find anyone really using shortcuts or scripts for anything besides opening apps or moving docs. Can someone help provide me with some real world examples and even some scripts or runs that I could copy and work with?

I feel like I could make some things work but I don’t have the coding logic skills to figure it out right now. Like two examples would be create a log of all of my emails that shows the date time sender recipient and subject for work, and then for creating a time task log automatically that selects time and duration with a list of different tasks and some parameters that are preset tasks then I could add some special notes if I need.

like is there anyway I could track and log all of my time like how screentime does but put it in a numbers sheet?

what do you use shortcuts and scripts for? What about notes, reminders, calendars, numbers and files for advanced work productivity?
