Workflows

How Waiting fits into the client workflow.

Open

Start from the module when this context matters.

Use Waiting when the client needs a reliable external-dependency list.

Capture

Record the important details.

Open Waiting when progress depends on someone else. Record what you are waiting for, who owns it, and when to follow up.

Organize

Keep the record findable.

Use the module structure so the information does not disappear into memory or scattered notes.

Connect

Link the module to surrounding context.

Related goals, tasks, people, calendar dates, or review flows make the record more useful.

Review

Return when planning or reflecting.

The module becomes part of the client’s ongoing life system.

Act

Turn signal into the next useful step.

When the record implies action, send it back into Today, Tasks, Goals, or the relevant module.
