Watch how you treat that Inbox

As I wrote in Tuning up the Evernote/GTD machinery, I am refining the way I apply the GTD system. I just listened to the abridged audio edition of Getting Things Done which I borrowed from my local library. (I was pleasantly surprised by how well the abridged audio version served as a review the essentials of the book without contributing to an overwhelming workload).

There are a few tips that I'm concentrating on applying in the next week, especially as I spend a big part of tomorrow on a big cleanup of my apartment and desk.

  • Be especially diligent in note everything that I have yet to process in my Evernote Inbox
  • When I work through my Inbox:
    • focus on one item at a time
    • do not put an item back into the Inbox -- force myself to decide what to do with the item

Wish me luck.
