The status indicator reflects the current state of the work: - Abandoned: Work that has been discontinued - Notes: Initial collections of thoughts and references - Draft: Early structured version with a central thesis - In Progress: Well-developed work actively being refined - Finished: Completed work with no planned major changes This helps readers understand the maturity and completeness of the content.
The confidence tag expresses how well-supported the content is, or how likely its overall ideas are right. This uses a scale from "impossible" to "certain", based on the Kesselman List of Estimative Words: 1. "certain" 2. "highly likely" 3. "likely" 4. "possible" 5. "unlikely" 6. "highly unlikely" 7. "remote" 8. "impossible" Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.
The importance rating distinguishes between trivial topics and those which might change your life. Using a scale from 0-10, content is ranked based on its potential impact on: - the reader - the intended audience - the world at large For example, topics about fundamental research or transformative technologies would rank 9-10, while personal reflections or minor experiments might rank 0-1.
Let us come before the Lord and pray for the grace to resist envy and jealousy.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have looked upon the blessings of others with envy and resentment.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have been consumed with the desire for what others have, and failed to appreciate the gifts you have given us.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have measured our own worth by the success and possessions of others, and failed to see our own unique value in your eyes.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have spoken ill of others, and spread rumors and gossip out of envy and jealousy.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have treated others poorly or unfairly out of envy, and caused pain and brokenness in our relationships.
Lord, have mercy on us for the times we have failed to trust in your providence and care for us, and sought to control our own destiny out of fear and envy.
May we seek to imitate the contentment and gratitude of Christ, who taught us to be rich in spirit rather than in material possessions, and who showed us that true wealth lies in our relationship with you.
Amen.
