How to use this canvas
This is a template. The cards are made-up examples. Swap in your own, or select a group and delete the examples.

Put new things in as you go; don't sort them first.
Tick the boxes on any card; the file changes with it.
Each card is a plain .md file in this canvas's folder in Finder, so Claude or ChatGPT can read it too.

Plan a trip on one canvas
1. Dump every link, screenshot and tip into Maybe. Don't sort yet.
2. Pick a few must-dos. Be harsh.
3. One neighbourhood a day, not a wish list. Less time on transit.
4. Bookings get their own corner.
