Processing

πŸ’‘ What It Is

Processing is the habit of turning an unorganized Inbox into a clear plan. You review each item and decide what it means and where it belongs.

⏰ When to Use It

Process your Inbox regularlyβ€”daily or weekly. Keep the Inbox as a temporary holding area, not long-term storage.

βš™οΈ How It Works

For each item in your Inbox:

  1. βœ“ Is it still relevant?
    • If not, delete it.
  2. βœ“ Is it actionable?
  3. βœ“ Is it time-based?
  4. βœ“ Is it a collection?

Keep it moving. The goal is to make decisions quickly and reduce friction.

πŸ’‘ Tips

  • ✨ Keep items small. Break big ideas into small steps under an Epic β†’.
  • ✨ Don’t overthink. If something takes less than a couple minutes, do it now; otherwise, convert it and move on.
  • ✨ Keep your Inbox near zero. A small Inbox makes review fast.
