Capture it while you are looking at it.
Add the problem, a photo and a useful note when you notice it. You do not need to decide everything about the job there and then.

Snags
Keep track of the things that need sorting.
Some jobs need doing now. Some need watching. Some are simply things you want to get to one day. Snags gives all of them somewhere useful to live, with the context you will need when you come back to them.

When the time is right
An illustrative example of the kinds of jobs Snags can hold — not a replacement for the real Xynch interface.
More useful than a to-do list
The job is only part of the record.
A task list can tell you that something needs doing. Xynch can also remember what you saw, where it is, the evidence you captured and what happened as you dealt with it.
Remember where it is.
Connect the snag to the room or place it belongs, so a growing list of jobs still makes sense months later.
Keep what happened next.
Notes, changes and progress stay with the snag, giving you a useful history instead of another task that disappears when it is ticked off.
Not everything is urgent
A home has different kinds of work.
Xynch gives you room for the leaking tap and the future garage door without pretending they are the same kind of problem.
Needs attention
Something is wrong or deteriorating and you want it visible until it is dealt with.
Maintenance
Work that keeps something in good order rather than fixing a sudden problem.
Keep an eye on it
Something you have noticed but do not yet need to act on.
Jobs for later
Improvements and intentions you want to remember when the timing, budget or opportunity is right.
Capture first
Notice it now. Decide what to do later.
Xynch should reduce the effort of remembering, not give you another admin job. Add enough to make the snag useful, then get on with your day.
