Goals for 2026

Thinking about 2026

Two overarching goals 1 - Setup a focussed work Focus setup? The thought is putting in place the physical and IT systems to allow focussed work to be done. The current incarnation to me would be a standalone computer that would show me the work that needed to be done with a place to do it and feed me more work when done. Scenario - I sit down at the focus station and it pops up the first thing to review/do. It is an email with a request. Buttons on the bottom of the screen let me defer, answer, skip, delete. I read it and take action. The next thing pops up. It is an ad and it has buttons on the bottom - skip, delete, mark for purchase, etc. And next pops up an article that I had marked for reading. I read it with all the ads blocked. The buttons on the bottom are mark as read, save, make note in Obsidian , etc.
Gather work over time, sit down for a focused session, crank through and off to other things.
2 - Clean out the less essential Remove the physical and digital build up. Create systems to stop the build up from happening and work on the back log.
