I don’t usually create scripts or Automator workflows from scratch, but look for or come across them on the web, and incorporate them to address a need I have. Occasionally some fine tuning is necessary to fit my specific circumstances. Most recently I have used Automator to replace some contextual menus I regularly used in older Mac OS X versions with Services that do the same in Yosemite. Examples: copy the path of a selected file/folder to the clipboard, or make an encrypted disk image of selected files/folders. Really smalltime stuff, but handy.
