Foreground Priority Selection Rule — private journaling boundaries as a defined term

Use it when several projects are all technically active and none of them is visibly moving.

Foreground Priority Selection Rule protects one project as the main execution target.

Do this first. Decide the categories in advance — work state and commitments in, personal health and third-party information out — and write the line down.

Do not do this. The metric that misleads here: whether a provider says data is private. What matters is what you decided to put in before you read the policy.

What should and should not go into a tool I do not control? Decide the categories in advance — work state and commitments in, personal health and third-party information out — and write the line down.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when several projects are all technically active and none of them is visibly moving.

  1. Name one project as foreground for a stated period, measured in weeks rather than days.
  2. Give every other active project an explicit background status with a maintenance floor: the minimum that keeps it from decaying.
  3. When a block is contested, the foreground project takes it. This is the entire rule and its whole value is that it is decided in advance.
  4. Review the foreground choice on a fixed date, not when a background project starts feeling urgent.

UnstatusedNot allowed. An unstatused project takes blocks by stealth.Any claim on your time until it is given a status.
