I’m trying to figure out whether I can use workflowy to build an effective workflow and the one I’m currently thinking is:
- Write sub-bullets in the daily bullet
- Later, mirror the important ones under specific “scope”-bullets somewhere else, so that they won’t get lost forever in the calendar
This way I can just type things out without deciding where to put them first, and also have an outline of everything without managing it too much (like a TOC or something).
- Calendar
- Yesterday
- Today
- Buy milk
- Cardinals enjoy sunflower seeds <ORIGINAL_NOTE>
- Topics
- House
- Work
- Hobby
- Watching building constructions
- Installing bird feeders
- Cardinals enojy sunflower seeds <MIRRORED_HERE>
Now if I wanted to share the hobbies only, I would share the “Hobby” bullet.
There are two major issues that make this simple approach hard to implement:
First, mirroring a bullet to elsewhere is cumbersome, I’ve made a post about this: https://community.workflowy.com/t/the-mirror-to-workflow-bad
Second, the way sharing works with mirrors right now, if I organize my notes like this, I will never be able to share them, unless I put the “Topics” bullet under “Calendar” and share everything I have, which is not something I would want to do.
Is there a chance sharing will be fixed, making it possible to create a selection of bullets using mirrors and only share that selection?
