Bangbang, he shot me down

I have a tag, bangbang, on any task that I can:
1. handle by myself,
2. with materials that I already have or can acquire quickly, and
3. in about 15-20 minutes.

I also label each task name with a location, such as "Living Room," (@home, in my living room) "General," (for tasks that don't have a specific location) "Out," (for errands) or "Online" (for anything that can be done on a @computer, @phone, or @online [comptuer or phone]).

When combined with locations, name labels, and/or lists in the smart search, I can pull up and then print targeted task lists based on location.

The intent is to tackle the house or errands by "banging" out several tasks in an hour or so of focused work. Bangbang!

For example:
- tag: bangbang AND list: "Cleaning & Yard Work" = all cleaning and yard work tasks that I can bang out quickly
- tag: bangbang AND (name: "Living Room" OR name: "Kitchen" OR "Dining Room") = bang tasks located on the middle floor of my house
- tag: bangbang AND location: computer = bang tasks that require a laptop - no more doom scrolling, wondering what I need to do!

Hope this helps!
