Episode notes
Email Processing
- Process emails by categorizing them into actionable, reference, someday/maybe, or trash.
- If not actionable, file, defer, or delete; if actionable, determine the next step.
Next Actions vs. To-Dos
- GTD emphasizes "next actions" over to-dos, focusing on the immediate physical step.
- If an action takes less than two minutes, do it immediately; otherwise, delegate or defer.
GTD Core Lists
- Use three core lists: projects, next actions, and calendar.
- Multi-step items go on the project list; single-step items go on the next actions list.
