# The drive home

> A process map exported from forks.world (https://forks.world). Author: Brian. Source: https://forks.world/p/cmv0iej0s0068jw06q3gkavlm
> It describes who does what, in what order, and with which technology. Read the plain-language sections first; the JSON at the end is the exact, complete data.

## Summary

- 9 steps across 1 layer
- Persona: You, Home
- Technology / systems: Maps app, Your car

## How to read this file

- A process is made of **layers**. The main layer is the top level; any step of kind `subprocess` opens a detail layer with its own lanes and steps.
- **Lanes** are either persona (people/roles) or technology (systems). Each step belongs to one lane; `using` lists tools a person uses for that step.
- Step kinds: `start`, `task`, `decision` (its arrows carry the answer as a label), `subprocess`, `end`.

## The drive home

Lanes:
- You: person / role (id `me`)
- Maps app: technology / system (id `nav`)
- Your car: technology / system (id `car`)
- Home: person / role (id `fam`)

Steps, in the order they run:

1. **Leave work and decompress for a minute** [start; You; id `h1`]
   - then Check traffic
2. **Check traffic** [task; Maps app; id `h2`]
   - then Any errands on the way?
3. **Any errands on the way?** [decision; You; id `h3`]
   - if "Yes" go to Groceries, pharmacy, pickup: keep it to one stop; if "No" go to Drive home
4. **Groceries, pharmacy, pickup: keep it to one stop** [task; You; id `h4`]
   - then Drive home
5. **Drive home** [task; You; id `h5`]
   - then Is your mind still at work?
6. **Is your mind still at work?** [decision; You; id `h6`]
   - if "Yes" go to Put on a podcast or music and let it go; if "No" go to Pull into the driveway
7. **Put on a podcast or music and let it go** [task; You; id `h7`]
   - then Pull into the driveway
8. **Pull into the driveway** [task; Your car; id `h8`]
   - then Home
9. **Home** [end; Home; id `h9`]
