From chat to queue: what goes in and what stays with you
Why it matters: A queue without triage just makes mistakes happen faster. The question about consequences outside the system determines where you need to be present: that’s where you manage instead of doing the work yourself.
- The four guarantees: save before running, one at a time, resume after a crash, separate done from failed.
- Triage with three questions: Does the input fit on one line? Can you check the result? Does it have an external consequence (publishing, sending, spending)?
- Three destinations: queue on its own, queue with a gate, stays with you.
- Ask the agent in the day 1 folder to review the table without changing the file.
Exercise: Fill in fila-no-papel.md with ten repetitive tasks from your work, starting from your list to sleep on.
You’re ready when: all 10 rows are filled in and at least two have a gate.
