Cards
One card per thing that needs you, ready for your yes. What the parts of a card mean.
Your Machine reads everything new and makes a card only when something needs you. One card per matter, however many messages it spans.
Where cards sit
The Suggestions tab groups them:
- Ready for you: prepared and waiting for your approval.
- Needs your decision: something only you can decide.
- Preparing: your Machine is working on it.
- Coming back later: snoozed.
- Done / dismissed: every finished card, newest first, 30 at a time as you scroll.
All clear. means nothing needs you now.
The buttons
A new card has Do it, Mark done, Snooze, Change and Not needed. Only a few show at once; the rest are under More, with Rename.
- Do it: your Machine prepares it. See Do it.
- Mark done: it's handled.
- Snooze: bring it back later. See Snooze.
- Change: tell it what you'd like instead, in a few words.
- Not needed: it goes away. Pick why, optionally: Not relevant, Wrong facts or Already handled. Your Machine learns from it.
A closed card can come back with Reopen.
Make one yourself
New card (under Find a card on a computer) adds a card for anything. Creating it sends nothing.
