Problem:
My head is filled with more ideas than I can fit into the time in have freely available.
Ideas come unplanned and often in bursts.
When they are fresh my enthuisiasm is high, and I start something in hope of gaining momementum.
But since few worthwhile things can be fitted into a single short session, but many of them are in progress.
Limiting WIP
The adherents of the Kanban philosophy consider work-in-progress as a source of waste which should be avoided.
But that philosophy comes out of the context of manufacturing.
There work-in-progress means having physical goods / inventory which is bound/dead capital.
In my opinion, this analogy doesn't translate one-to-one to intellectual or creative tasks.
Especially in the private life, personal learning and creative acts don't need to be subjected to bean counting & book keeping.
Thoughts and ideas, even if they are in a draft stage, do have a value on their own.
They are necessary parts of a process, and the residue of it.
The learning that takes place, the joy that can be felt while doing something might already constitute an end in itself.
Embracing WIP
Therefore I think work-in-progress should be embraced.
Rome was not built in a day and few great works (not including performative acts of course) can be done in a single session.
If the strict limit to new work in progress hinders you starting something that is the real waste.
Further considerations
Maybe unfinished works should not pop up in a stream.
Feeds are not so good for updated content.
Add indicators: When was it started /Last tended to / number of updates
Version history / Keeping old versions around?
Remove/Mark out of date stuff
It's ok to abandon stuff. Might be waste, but some things are dead ends. Be protective of your time
