The Ultimate Pinterest Workflow: Save → Note → Shortlist → Do

Most people stop at step 1: Save. This leads to digital hoarding. To actually *use* Pinterest, you need a workflow that moves towards action.

Step 1: Save (Broad)

Cast a wide net. Save anything that catches your eye. Don't filter yet.

Step 2: Note (Context)

Immediately add a note. What caught your eye? Texture? Color? Mood? This locks in the value.

Step 3: Shortlist (Tagging)

Use a tag like #shortlist or #active to mark items you are seriously considering. Filter your dashboard to show only these.

Step 4: Do (Execution)

When the project is done, change the tag to #archive or #completed. Upload a photo of your result in the note for posterity.

This simple funnel turns Pinterest from a distraction machine into a productivity engine.
