Wrap the day into the parcel file

1 · Learn the move · Recipe pattern

A parcel's real record is spread across a call log, a clerk's voicemail, a text from the title company, a photo of a gate, and your memory, which is gone by Monday. A ten-minute wrap-up fixes that if it always has the same shape. DONE: what happened, with the parcel number on every line. DECIDED: what the owner, the heirs or you decided, one line each, with who said it. CHANGED: any price, acreage, date or term that moved, written as old value, new value, reason, never buried in prose. OPEN: what is unfinished, each with an owner and a date. The model sorts your scraps into that shape and stops. It does not tidy a figure it cannot see, it never computes a date, and it does not turn 'the daughter sounded interested' into an agreement. Anything missing becomes [NEEDS: ...] so you see the hole before the file closes.

Turn my notes from today into parcel-file entries, one per parcel: [paste call notes, texts, clerk messages]. Sections for each: DONE / DECIDED (what, who, when) / CHANGED (old value, new value, reason) / OPEN (item, owner, date). Use only what is in my notes. Any missing figure, name or date = [NEEDS: ...]. Never compute a deadline; quote what the clerk said and mark it for the attorney. Do not interpret anyone's tone; 'sounded interested' stays as I wrote it.
