  • ...
  • ...

2. 🧹 What can I archive, delete, or merge?

Kill your darlings. Identify what’s no longer useful or what should be merged into something bigger.

  • Blog post outline
  • Project doc
  • Thought to explore further
- Idea → Schedule thinking time
- Task → Draft outline for blog post on note fatigue
- Question → “How do I separate writing from organizing without losing flow?”

4. ✅ What got done or made progress?

Write down small wins. Even clearing your inbox of 5 bad ideas counts.

- Archived 12 fragments
- Resurfaced 1 idea worth building

5. 🔄 What do I want to revisit later?

Create a mini “to review later” list if you're unsure about something, so it doesn't stay in the main pool.

- Idea: “Tablet-based idea inbox” → recheck in August
