As of 2018-01-12, this script updates my "Process TextExpander snippets" OmniFocus task with suggested snippets once a month.
(FYI - at one point, it automatically updated my Process Evernote inbox OmniFocus task with the number of unprocessed articles I have waiting in Evernote. No longer by the time I stopped using the script...)

As of 2015, my personal choice for long-term archival of interesting articles & other documentation is Evernote. I keep these articles filed away using a variety of notebooks and tags.
My current workflow is :
- Decide I want to archive an article that I'm reading on the web, in Instapaper, a blog post, etc.
- I send it to Evernote. All articles go, by default, into the
inboxnotebook. - Every morning I have a set of routines I go through as OmniFocus recurring tasks. One of these is named
Process Evernote inbox. This is my reminder "hey, dummy, go archive all of those new articles in Evernote!" - I bounce over to Evernote, go through each article, and send it to the appropriate notebook with the appropriate tags.
This script keeps my OmniFocus task up-to-date with the number of unprocessed articles. If I have none (which is common), I know I can immediately check that task as done and move along.
- Create 'thereCanBeOnlyOne' function to assert we only find one folder, project, task, notebook.
- Update Evernote notebook search to use whose function.
- Wrap up into a class (for visuals and readability).
- Automatically run every minute.
- Write up a litte more in the README.md.
- Write up a blog post.
- Copy the final artifact somewhere so I can work on this project without affecting the rest of the system.
