/tag/five-things
(new entry)

Problem: I collect information, and I need a mechanism to process it. My going through old links or performing smaller tasks is random.

Solution: Do at least five interesting things each day. Create new posts or a summary post of any edits or other interesting things.

Suggestions follow..

Regularly ∞

• Bookmarks - Review three recent and two old.

  • Sort them properly, make pages for anything interesting or just drop them into the day's 'five things' post.

• Drafts - Review, edit and publish any lingering ones.

  • This list should be empty except for unready and unreleased projects or templates.

• Live Projects - Review and continue them.

  • Zombify or kill as needed.

• TODO, Try harder, Questions/Wanted-tagged posts - Review and process them.

Irregularly ∞

• Unplugging
• Shopping
• Zombie Projects - Review the list, to resurrect or kill any.

• Review offline content.

  • Dead Projects-associated content might be postable online.
  • Any completely-processed dead projects should be interred into deep archives.

• Entertainment if bored / uninspired
  -- Consider picking away at /tag/todo+entertainment
  -- When checking out something new, always create a new entry. Everything has a prepared template.

  • Television > Live Television
  • Reading > Live Reading
  • Movies

Audit deep archives ∞

There are four categories of deep archive:

1. Unsorted
2. Live
3. Dead, but not interred

4. Interred

1) Unsorted - Review and loosely-sort it.

• Is it live? Migrate it and leave it in that project's inbox.

• Is it dead? Migrate it to that project's shallow archive-inbox.

2) Live - Migrate it to that project's inbox.

3) Dead - Migrate it to that project's inbox.

• Do not inter!

  • Relocate them to shallow archives for easier processing in the future.
  • It must be judged. Some content may be easy to share.

4) Interred - Do nothing.

These are here either for quick reference or resurrection.
