Uses
One page per use of a box: what the person does, what the box does back, what it needs, and where it is still rough.
- a-household-in-one-chat.md: Put the box in a chat several people are already in, so one calendar, one set of lists, and one memory serve the whole household.
- a-projects-working-memory.md: Give one project a directory that holds its briefing, its todos, its documents, and the rules that apply only there.
- an-inbox-for-your-thoughts.md: Speak or type whatever is in your head and have it come back as todos, notes, and records instead of a pile of fragments.
- cooking-from-your-recipes.md: Keep your own recipes as cards that rescale the amounts, carry your substitutions, and are readable from a phone in the kitchen.
- email-under-control.md: Name the threads worth watching, get replies drafted for your review, and teach the box where the rest of the mail belongs.
- learning-a-subject.md: Have the box build a course for you on a topic, and keep an evidence-backed record of what you actually understood.
- paper-into-records.md: Photograph or scan the things and papers you own, and end up with records you can search and ask questions of.
- people-and-places.md: Tell the box who the people in your life are and which places it should recognize, so it knows who and where you mean.
- publishing-from-your-cards.md: Put one page from your box on the public web from material you already keep, with an explicit go-live and an explicit takedown.
- reading-and-clipping.md: Save pages from your browser with your own remarks attached to the passage, and find them again when you need them.
- routines-that-run-without-you.md: Put recurring work on a schedule or into a procedure, and read the result afterwards instead of remembering to do it.
- teaching-it-your-preferences.md: Correct it once and have the correction stick: rules, guides, and a personality card the box reads before it acts.
