Activities
Activities are the plan in motion. They are the concrete actions you can do, capture, schedule, complete, or refine.
Capture first
You can add an Activity before everything is perfectly organized. Capture the real action while it is fresh, then connect it to a Goal or Arc when that becomes clear.
This keeps Kwilt useful on messy days. The system should help you recover meaning later instead of demanding perfect filing up front.
Write activities as actions
A good Activity starts with a verb and points to something you can actually do: draft the outline, call the contractor, clear the workbench, schedule the appointment.
If it feels too large, split it. The smallest useful version is often the one that moves.
- Use a verb.
- Keep the action visible.
- Add notes when they make the work easier to resume.
Use views as help, not homework
Lists, boards, and other views are there to make action easier to see. They should not become another system you have to maintain.
If a view stops helping you choose or capture, simplify it.
Use the next-action dock
Activity Detail keeps the most useful next move close to the bottom of the screen. The primary action may help you Focus, schedule time, add steps, ask Kwilt, or share the to-do depending on what would move the Activity forward.
Use the chevron when you want a different action. The dock is meant to reduce decision load, not hide the other tools.
- Focus when the to-do needs a protected work session.
- Schedule when it needs time on the calendar.
- Add steps when it is too large to do in one pass.
- Ask Kwilt when you need help shaping the next move.
