Short journal · Original editorial · A place for unfinished work
A project cannot proceed until a supplier replies.
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.
Record who is expected to reply and what decision follows.
Try the change once before turning it into a permanent routine. Keep the part that helps and revise the part that does not.
