Focus

Track which goals you're focusing on at any point in time

Graphical Conceptualization

"Tree" / "Garden"

Inputs as roots
- Describe root structure, track nourishment (flow from roots to trunk) and droughts
- Base of tree - your happiness / effectiveness
- Roots - things that contribute to your happiness effectiveness
  - E.g. physical fitness
  - Social life
Outputs as fruits
- Describe intentions (flowers) and achievements (fruit)
You are your own tree, but you also may represent others (organizations, companies, projects) as trees
Set parts of your tree as public so that friends can visit yours and help you out

UI

/ - Home
/tree/+ - New tree
/tree/me - Your tree (add roots [inputs], branches [outputs])

Schema

	status: Status
	time: String // ISO Date
}

	current: String
	history: [HistoricalStatus]

	name: String

Thoughts

Introspection

Which tasks can you use music to help? (Executional vs analysis)
How do you decide between priorities at a moment in time?
- Utilize different emotional states for different activities
  - E.g. Sad, lonely, happy, energized, thoughtful
- Use different days or habits to fit priorities together

Exposition

Expose to your friends what your emotional state is and how your goals can fit together
- Find people with similar issues
- Find people with similar emotional states

Technical Roadmap

Create SVG React Components to represent nodes etc - linkable?
Create basic component that does graphql query for the data
- Create links with actions
  - Feeling (emoji -> stuck, happy, sad, overwhelmed)
  - Thought (what? recorded at current timestamp)
  - Intention (what? when? (today / soon / someday))

Node Types

Inputs
Outputs
Node
- "Health" (outcome tracking)
  - Quantitative (0:100%) [User setting custom scale factors, 0:32, -100:100]
  - Qualitative
  - Osmotic (speed of absorption, calculation (sum child roots))
- Thoughts
  - Ideas/notes over time
- Intentions
  - Ideas/notes over time
Sun & soil - external factors in growth/mood to watch out for
Views
- Tree (high-level: purpose-outcome-brainstorm)
- Branch (brainstorm-organize-next steps)

Getting This Done

Purpose
- Make tracking my entire life of goals and projects pleasant, exhaustive, extensible and tractable
Outcome visioning
- Have somewhere to update progress/ideas/organize/next steps for projects and subprojects
- Maintain a vision of how goals relate to each other
Brainstorming
- Start designing tree / branch views
- Start working out how tree and branch interact
Organize
Next Steps
- Start coding

Design

No idea what it should actually look like, structure-wise.

A purpose is satisfied by outcomes. (Outcomes describe satisfaction criteria.) Outcomes may be split into strings of outcomes. E.g. string. An outcome is achieved using organized brainstorming, resulting in a list of next steps.
