What Inbox, Next, Waiting For, Someday/Maybe, Reference, and Completed are for.
Where an item can live
Every item is in exactly one place at a time.
- Inbox. Things you have captured but not yet decided about. Clear it often. See Processing your Inbox.
- Next. Single steps you can act on as soon as you have the chance.
- Waiting For. Things someone else has to do before you can move. See Waiting For.
- Someday/Maybe. Ideas you may act on in the future, kept out of your way until then.
- Reference. Information you want to keep but that needs no action. Reference items do not take a Project or a Reminder Date.
- Completed. Finished items. They stay searchable and can be reopened. See Completing and reopening items.
Ways to group items
- Projects for outcomes that take more than one step.
- Areas of Focus for the parts of your life you look after, such as Work or Home.
- Contexts for the place, tool, or situation you need to act.
