Useful as a "Punch Card".

This shortcut tests for if a specifically named note with "Time Sheet" in the name exists. Then either finds or creates that note. And adds a timestamp with the current date & time and any details you enter to that Note (ie. Clock In, Clock Out, Out for Lunch, Out of Office Meeting).

To share between devices, save the created note in the iCloud storage section in the Notes app.

Useful for time tracking, billable hours...etc.

Wait command used to give the OS time to create the file so the next "Find Notes Where" command can locate the Note.
