ADVICE

Context-Based Organizing

Too many pre-planned categories can become hiding places for tasks, hindering productivity.
Instead of pre-defining categories, create them as needed during the clarification and organization process.
Focus on organizing next actions based on physical context (where you need to be to perform the action) rather than by project, topic, or area of focus.
This practical approach helps avoid organizing by mental concepts ("personal", "work", "finance") and instead focuses on actionable physical locations.
Organize tasks based on where they need to be done, not what they are about.
