For knowledge workers, there is a lot of work to do defining our work before we can start actually doing our work. The 5 phases of workflow is the GTD model for capturing, defining and doing our work.
A list of items required, things to be done, or points to be considered, used as a reminder.
The gathering of all inputs we have let into our lives for later processing.
This is where the rubber meets the road and we get things done.
A system of classifying into files (usually arranged alphabetically)
An approach to personal productivity that focuses on action management rather than time management. Based on the best-selling book of the same name.
The practice of keeping strict boundaries between items of different types. In GTD, for example, it is highly recommended to keep reference material (which has no emotional cost) separate from commitments and actions you need to keep (which have strong emotional pull). If you blur the edges between items of different types, your system will not be effective.
Any collection bucket for stuff.
Any set of similar items. Examples include:
Defines explicitly what we naturally do when planning anything. David Allen recommends we use it consciously to increase personal and team productivity. If more clarity is required on a project, move up the model. If more action is required, move down the model.
The next defined physical, visible action you will take to advance some purpose.
Examples include:
The complete inventory of the next physical, visible action you will take to fulfil some purpose.
This is where we put things into our trusted system where they need to go based on their meaning to us.
This is where we decide exactly what each new input means to us.
Anything you're committed to that will take more than one action step to complete.
Examples include:
The complete inventory of everything you have committed to that will take more than one action step to complete.
This is where we make sure our trusted system is current and complete.
Any input that has arrived in your world for which you have not defined the meaning.
