actualNoteContentPart: ## Classic todo lists don't sift out your best ideas
  Future You is capable of great things if given the chance! They are a chronically underutilized resource when it comes to sifting your opportunities and detecting which continue to matter over time. Repeatedly relevant tasks are often the most promising sort -- and they have a way of slowly improving (with #showerthoughts or your equivalent) as the weeks pass.
  
  To benefit from the splendors of Future You requires establishing a channel of communication between your present & future self. That "channel of communication" is an organized todo list. As with the depiction above, we see new tasks being added each week, mingling with the preexisting tasks. But this time, the user has been kind enough to Future Them to ascribe more detail about each task as it's added. Given these details, a better todo list can steer tasks into or out of the user's attention as weeks pass:
  
  
  Tasks marked as "Urgent," "Important" or "Quick" automatically shifted to the top of the tasks Amplenote will show. Other tasks can be quickly dismissed.
  
  
  You can keep a long todo list, but [we recommend instead a list where it's easy to snooze or trash tasks](https://www.amplenote.com) . You want to keep your list as tight as possible. When you let a new task linger on your list for a week or two before taking it up, you open a portal to receive the assistance of Future You.
  
  If you're a creative person with lots of ideas, Future You is a ready & willing judge to help spot the pick of the litter. The best versions of your best ideas take time to refine. The longer an idea sits on your list (hidden or otherwise), the greater the opportunity for various Future Yous to discard the idea or improve it. The more times you're willing to be entertained by a task, the more important you can infer it to be.
