Reflect

What is causing the most friction?

Is it already a project? Should it be?

Missing Projects?

  • Did I work on something this week that should be a project?
  • What stands between where we are and where we want to get?

Garden & Purge

  • Wander TheBrain for 10 minutes thinking about Progressive Summarization
    • What is the next item to purge?
    • Is "clutter" showing up in a new place?
    • Is this in a format I can express quickly

To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day. -- Lao Tzu, ancient Chinese philosopher
