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    • → 04_Archive: Old/completed, no longer active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
