"I know it sounds dumb or facetious or fraudulent to claim something popped into your head (like a prizeworthy thesis dropping into my hands as I walk onto the stage at the professional conference, clueless until then and now indebted to a fickle, periodically enraged alcoholic liaison-to-the-intelligentsia genie), but I swear this is the case, and it doesn't happen to me often."
"A momentum queue is a to-do list at its best. It describes all action, really. Consider a person with a line of people in front of them. That's a momentum queue. And in a weird way, it's a to-do list. (Although we would probably think a person had lost it if they had a "to-do list" next to them at their clerk job that said, "Next person in line," over and over -- and they just kept crossing off the next item as they proceeded with their day, unsmiling.)"
A momentum queue functions as an enhanced to-do list that captures all actions and prevents stagnation. Continual rewriting preserves actionability and sustains forward progress. Treating the queue as a network-style drawing board allows flexible sequencing and easier entry into tasks. Approaching work as a puzzle reduces mental overwhelm and can lessen attention difficulties when tackling complex situations. The queue's momentum keeps daily life manageable by preventing the mind from becoming frazzled. Framing tasks this way emphasizes movement, clarity, and iterative refinement to maintain productivity and reduce anxiety about workload.
