Demonstration of Use
The “untimed” upper half of the desk is dedicated to tasks that are not of immediate urgency or whose urgency has not yet been determined. A particular significance is attributed to the “Occurrences” field here; this serves as a type of inbox, but can also be used for capturing spontaneously developed ideas – similar to the example with the “GPT-Experiments” folder. These experiments are categorized as non-urgent and therefore, after some consideration, moved to the “Efforts” field.
Anything in the “Soon” field has not yet been started but is urgent, deserving heightened attention.
The “Completed” field is intended for storing completed urgent projects. Finished projects are often still needed for presentations or need to be submitted; therefore, it would be disadvantageous to immediately place them in the “Archive” folder (in the untimed “Regular” field). They are only archived when they are truly no longer needed.
Currently, in the “In Progress” field, the “WebDev” (Web Development) folder resides – a project that the user in the example does not intend to continue but would rather focus on the “Artwork” project. Hence, the folders are moved between the “In Progress” and “Wait” fields.
In general, one can choose to archive all documents immediately and conduct task management on the desktop using aliases. Especially for the untimed “Regular” field, aliases will be predominantly utilized – aliases to the archive folder, to knowledge management programs like Obsidian or Notion, to an app that provides concentration-enhancing music, and so on.
The untimed “Reminders” field serves as a kind of general working memory – here, aliases to frequently needed PDFs or folders for statistics will be kept available. These files will be required as reminders on a case-by-case basis. In contrast, the files in the “Regular” field will be used repeatedly on a weekly, if not daily, basis.
