See what is on Home
Open Home. Scan Notes for layout items that belong to a topic. Open the Docs tab — every row here is a top-level project or a stray Doc. No docs yet means you only have Notes to file.
Create the project
Choose New Doc and name it after the topic (not Untitled if you can help it). Open that Doc. This is the project everything related will live under.
Park the work
On the project, use New Doc for each pile that needs its own page. Copy or recreate Notes layout items from Home into the project Notes, then delete the leftovers on Home. Nested Docs inherit shares later if you grant the project.
Keep Home thin
Leave Home for inbox lines and unfiled ideas. New ongoing work starts as a Doc under a project, not as another untitled row on Home.
