I spent part of last night and this morning going through what I've come to call The Catch-Up Box.
Any document or note that cannot be immediately handled goes into that box and then, once a week, they get reviewed. [I have a habit of scrawling on index cards.]
Some items stay there because the time is not right for action, but most get moved on.
Now that I've started a Substack column, however, The Catch-Up Box is getting cluttered with articles and notes pertaining to past or future columns.
And so now it is joined by The Substack Box. Nothing fancy. No files within the box. Just items pertaining to articles.
You might say the box is one big file folder and that's wise because you don't lose things in a fat file.
It's when you get too clever and specific that they get lost.
