Family Command Centre & Home Paper Flow

The command centre is the family's inbox: this week's paper, this week's schedule, this week's actions — nothing older. It is sized from your real paper volume and your real wall, and it empties into the home file system on a weekly rhythm so the inbox never becomes the archive.

Start-here checklist

  1. Size trays to a week of your actual paper, not an ideal week
  2. Calendar where everyone passes it, at standing eye height
  3. Touch paper once: act, file, or recycle at the door
  4. Weekly reset: trays emptied, week ahead visible
