Oof that’s dense text, Kevin. I have never heard such a definition of bench. Let me expand to see if I understood you.
So you set out a bunch of tasks to do, you do them, mark them off, and then set out a bunch more. You set aside a block of time in your day strictly for processing such tasks. You believe this needs regular cleaning. Does this refer to leftover tasks you’ve decided not to do and should be deleted? So the bench is this place (your list) where you park tasks and this needs to be pruned to keep the list from being clunky.
So then in saying it’s different from this other space, you mean you don’t keep tasks in the same documents as notes about what you learned. What you like to do then is have links between your knowledge and your tasks so it’s all coordinated but the knowledge isn’t kept just in the task list.
I think I understand now.
Now somehow DynaList is like a bench?
