Each capturing tool directly includes 3 folders: priority 1, priority 2, priority 3. When anything is caught, I decide, then it goes directly in 1, 2 or 3.
The goal of this is to allow loosely structured inputs to find their way to action/results.
priority 1 (solve) is alive and need to be solved. It’s a shortlist. Work on the oldest files to update the relevant item.
priority 2 (decide) need detailed decision and more processing, secondary projects, etc
priority 3 (hide) is for hide. It’s almost like archive or trash. I never open this. I always use search on my computer, so if its relevant it will appear in the results. Sometimes I purge it (>90 days). The idea is that I know that nothing important inside.
