Short journal · Original editorial · A place for unfinished work
A small task keeps reappearing because another step is missing.
Unfinished work needs a reason to remain visible. A next action, a waiting condition, or a deliberate pause gives it a place. Keeping everything active can hide the few pieces that are ready to move.
Name the missing step beside the task instead of copying it again.
Notice what the change asks of another person. An experiment is more considerate when their choice and limits remain visible.
