004250 triage alarm manage

shared by Graham Perrin on 24 May 09 - Cached
  • focus on a few at a time
  • items are “triaged”
  • Mostly, I just want to know what’s coming soon
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the LATER section gives me that
  • I’m always assigning alarms to anything I don’t want to think about right now
  • my NOW section is much more manageable and I’m calmer

  • technological barriers
  • too much copying and pasting
  • false assumption that information management tasks are binary
  • false assumption underlying most productivity software that information and the organizational structures needed to manage that information are essentially static
  • A lone email languishes for a long time in your Inbox and then all of a sudden, blooms into an unending thread which dies down
  • the thread is revived and mushrooms into a full scale project
  • Three weeks later
  • you barely give it a thought

      I tend to find myself involved in: at one extreme, very many varied small tasks, which are recorded/archived then intentionally forgotten; and at the other extreme: projects about which thought extends months or even years later. Between the two extremes: for me, things are hazy.
  • the same workflow hiccups show up again and again
  • an information management environment with built-in workflows that mirror what people hack together
  • three basic workflows everybody seems to construct for themselves, regardless of what tools they use
  • varying degrees of complexity and automation
  • These three workflows however, need to exist independently of each other
  • no complicated rule-builder
  • push-button interface
  • always assume a need for iteration and change over time
  • Peeling the Onion
  • Allow Organization to Change and Flow
  • the entire gamut of organizational affordances
  • Tagging
  • Filing, Rules, et cetera
  • won't ever be asked to decide between them
  • turn it into a Custom Attribute
  • Add semantics to a Tag
  • Custom Attribute
  • Drag a Tag or a Cluster to the sidebar
  • a Cluster: a way to thread items together, a way to reflect dependencies
  • Group collaboration systems exist in parallel with personal communication tools
  • does not scale down to work for small groups
  • the majority of the significant emails we send are sent while still in a draft-state

      This is very thought-provoking.
  • Future
  • a well-defined end-user information model
  • by modeling the user experience around how people work today and the substance of that work, we can be more than just another software tool and instead aspire to be a system for information management: A smarter way to work. A better environment for collaboration
  • We want Chandler to be able to talk to other applications
  • As we make Chandler's end-user information model richer, the number of interesting applications to talk to will increase. This is one of the many areas where we hope that people in the community will help increase Chandler's ability to talk to other applications

  • (too) many interesting things
  • There's something wrong with the way data
  • doesn't flow between the tools we use to manage, process, organize our information
  • software should be modeled around information
  • fundamentally non-linear, non-binary nature of information work
  • processing and re-processing information to help you stay focused on the task(s) at hand
  • everything you can't and shouldn't be doing right now

      These things are the ones that tend to throw in a 'pot' for later action.
  • many of the messages we send are really still drafts
  • too much copying and pasting
  • organized around your data and the semantics
  • not around which feature you used to create them
  • or over which transport protocol
  • Not around which file format
  • new Kinds of Items
  • designed to let you re-define what it means to be a PIM
  • personal definition of "Personal Information"
  • Extend the existing schema of Attributes

Chandler item event message note task to-do VTODO triage star stamp label 004250

shared by Graham Perrin on 24 May 09 - Cached
  • don’t understand the point of marking some of my Notes as Tasks
  • proposal for extending the range of Item Kinds in Chandler
  • extremely basic notion of Contacts
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • re-instate Tasks
  • Reference Kind
  • enter deadlines
  • don’t propose this instead of the Now/ Later/ Done system, but adjunct to
  • see my tasks organized by those deadlines
  • and not necessarily a “to do” item
  • compilation of reference information
  • a configurable Chandler would be the most scalable solution
  • NOTES or REFERENCE feature would be useful
  • keep track of “reference material” that you want to keep around forever, just in case
