00 Subsystem: Work Intake And Prio
DraftSOP · Subsystem · 2025-05-14-r15§
Target System — Work Intake & Prioritisation**
Big-Picture Overview§
| Block | Content |
|---|---|
| Purpose & Scope | Orchestrate the entire daily work-cycle for every solo-operator: AM — execute the 1-3 cards already in Q1 Doing on the Personal Trello board and pull high-priority tasks from the shared Operations board. PM — at 17 : 00 run Inbox-Zero triage then invoke SOP-4 Daily Hygiene (owned by the close-out subsystem) so the next morning starts clean. |
| Map / Flow | 09 : 00 open Personal board → work Q1 Doing → copy ≤ 2 Ready ⏳ cards from Ops board when capacity free → loop Q1 ⇄ Ops until 17 : 00 → Inbox-Zero triage (clarify, set Q1 To Do ≤ 3, backlog Q2, queue Q3, archive noise) → call SOP-4 Daily Hygiene → send Telegram Digest. |
| Roles | Freelancer Operator · Ops Manager · Systems-Ops Lead · GPT Assistant |
| RACI Snapshot | R Operator · A Manager · C Sys-Ops Lead · I GPT |
| KPIs | Inbox-Zero before clock-out (100 %) · Q1 Doing ≤ 3 cards (100 %) · ≥ 80 % Q1 cards closed same day · Daily Hygiene approved ≤ 24 h · Blockers cleared ≤ 24 h |
| Tools | Personal Trello board · Operations Trello board · Ops Google Sheet · Clockify · Insightful · Telegram |
| Risks (ISO 31000) | WIP overflow hides priorities · Evening triage skipped → chaos next morning · Ops tasks left on shared board → lost visibility · Missed Hygiene blocks payroll |
| Open Questions | Should a bot alert the manager if Daily Hygiene isn’t submitted? |
| Next Action | Pilot the revised flow for one day; measure operator load at 17 : 00 triage. |
