The plan

  1. Milestone 1

    Capture everything (Week 1)

    Full capture

    • Pick one inbox for notes, ideas and to-dos
    • Spend an hour writing down every open commitment
    • Gather loose papers into one physical tray
    • Carry a quick way to jot things down wherever you go
  2. Milestone 2

    Clarify and organize (Week 2)

    Next steps

    • For each item, decide the very next physical step
    • Do anything that takes under two minutes right away
    • Sort actions into lists by context — calls, computer, errands
    • Keep a projects list for anything needing more than one step
    • Start a list for things you're waiting on and one for maybe-later ideas
  3. Milestone 3

    Keep it trusted (Weeks 3–6)

    Weekly review

    • Block one hour each week for a full review
    • Empty every inbox to zero during the review
    • Check that every project has a clear next step
    • Look ahead at the next two weeks of your calendar
