Flow-First Work

tags:: #output/essay wip #a/concept

Basically a manifesto for the Gardener way of working.
Be rooted when working.
JIT organization. Just-In-Time Planning
Personal Productivity Network
Pipelining
Out-of-Order Execution

Spectrums of:

• Level of organization
• Length of work session required for types of work (Intermediate Packets)

Why? Freedom. No more anxiety about either losing stuff or losing time organizing.

Flow-first work is mostly about setting up distraction outlet valves, and surrounding it with a clear takeoff and landing procedure.

• Tools with inboxes
• Free-text unstructured notepad
• Reminders to close the valves again
• A trusted landing signal
• Agreements with yourself
  • Boundaries of what to do
  • Pre-flight checklist
  • Practice staying in focus
