Usage

For best results:

• check nextup when starting activity on a project to lower your barrier to entry and avoid losing context when switching between development sessions.

• update a nextup when switching away from a project by recording one achievable action to complete when you next pick the project up or by simply capturing the state you are leaving things in.

Note there is a fixed maximum of 3 projects to focus efforts.
