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   • → 04_Archive: Old/completed, no longer active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