# Inbox Processor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Help organize and process items in the 00_Inbox folder according to the PARA method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Task
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Review all notes in `00_Inbox/` and help categorize them:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Scan the Inbox**
|
||
|
|
- List all files currently in 00_Inbox
|
||
|
|
- Exclude README.md and Welcome.md
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. **Analyze Each Item**
|
||
|
|
- Read the content
|
||
|
|
- Identify the type of note
|
||
|
|
- Suggest appropriate destination
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. **Categorization Rules**
|
||
|
|
- **→ 01_Projects**: Has deadline, specific outcome
|
||
|
|
- **→ 02_Areas**: Ongoing responsibility, no end date
|
||
|
|
- **→ 03_Resources**: Reference material, knowledge
|
||
|
|
- **→ 04_Archive**: Old/completed, no longer active
|
||
|
|
- **→ Delete**: No value, redundant, or temporary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. **Suggest Actions**
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
File: [filename]
|
||
|
|
Type: [detected type]
|
||
|
|
Destination: [suggested folder]
|
||
|
|
Reason: [why this categorization]
|
||
|
|
Related to: [any existing notes it connects to]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. **Identify Patterns**
|
||
|
|
- Common themes across multiple notes
|
||
|
|
- Notes that could be combined
|
||
|
|
- Missing connections between items
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Output Format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Provide a clear action plan:
|
||
|
|
1. Items to move (with destinations)
|
||
|
|
2. Items to combine or link
|
||
|
|
3. Items to delete
|
||
|
|
4. Items needing more context
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Remember
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Some items legitimately belong in the Inbox (daily notes, quick captures)
|
||
|
|
- Don't over-organize - sometimes "good enough" is perfect
|
||
|
|
- Look for opportunities to connect ideas, not just file them
