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
