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

1. Analyze Each Item

• Read the content
• Identify the type of note
• Suggest appropriate destination

1. 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• → 04_Archive: Old/completed, no longer active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

1. Suggest Actions

   File: [filename]
   Type: [detected type]
   Destination: [suggested folder]
   Reason: [why this categorization]
   Related to: [any existing notes it connects to]

1. 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
