This is NOT a task list - It's a holding area for possibilities
Review frequency: Monthly (1st Sunday recommended)
Keep it lean: If list grows beyond 50 items total, you're hoarding. Delete more aggressively.
The test: If you haven't thought about an item in 3 months, delete it. You'll rediscover if truly important.
