That's interesting to hear about the inbox for quickly capturing thoughts, including brain vomit.

Over the past few years I've used a similar convention, first called Journal, then Stream, then finally Archive. Everything goes in there, added to the bottom of the file: snippets, ideas, links, both personal and work-related stuff. I have a shell alias to append one-liners from the terminal, which I use throughout the day (and night). I review it regularly to move the important parts, especially plans and actions:

  - Archive

  - Do

  - Doing

  - Done

I like that the folders sort alphabetically, and also in the order of how things flow.

That reminds me of a "kanban board" with: Backlog, Ready, In Progress, Complete.
