Each item is a short capture as a personal assistant would receive it (voice memo,
wearable conversation, forwarded email), stamped with the moment it was recorded.
The gold label says whether there is a firm deadline, what it is, and whether an
alarm should be set. Seven trap families, 20 items each.
