Description

As part of clarifying the "What?" in our Product Roadmap dwyl/product-roadmap#9, 🤷‍♀
we need to create a UX/UI that allows people to ***Categorise*** their **`plaintext`**
into something more _useful_ and _actionable_. 📝 > ✅

My initial sketch/idea was to simply transform the **`plaintext`** into a set of **Todo** items:

However this is _not_ a very compelling UX. It offers almost no _benefit_ over _existing_ Todo List apps and does nothing to offer a "workflow". This is a classic case of attempting to _solve_ the problem, before the problem has been clearly defined. 🤦‍♂ So let's _first_ focus on defining what we want to achieve. 💭

# What ~~Problem~~ _Challenge_ Are We Solving?

The challenge we are solving is: how to categorise, organise and prioritise unstructured information.

# _Story_

**As a `person`** wanting to be more effective with my time,
**I want** to organise my thoughts (***`plaintext`***) into clear categories and **`kinds`** of ***actionable*** **`item`**
(_e.g: "note", "task", "reminder", "appointment", "meeting", "reading", "exercise", "shopping", etc._)
**So that** I have _system_ for everything in my life and nothing falls through the cracks.

@iteles can you please read through this and see if it makes sense, if not, please edit/improve. Thanks!
