Organizational Tools for different scope and time

looking through unposted writings from last year, found this odd little (incomplete) table.

ScopeFuture Present Past
smallerTODO Lists (sticky note?) Timesheet
smallPlans TimeSnapper Records/Journals
mediumGoals Event logs Histories
largeMind maps(revelation)(remembrance)
largerSpecifications (epiphany) (tome)
#inf.(vision)(dream)(?)

the idea is that different tools are used depending if we're interested in big things or little things, and whether we're looking forward, looking back, or living in the moment.

almost makes sense... but not quite ;-)

I think the bottom-right should be "philosophy".

This table makes sense. You need different tools for different levels. This table will help me think about what tools to use for organising various undertakings.
