My Desk IS my In-box!
pooks | Oct 28 2006
I think I always knew this, but it has become more and more an issue since I started GTDing. Example. This morning I'm about to go through the house and try and straighten up. I will come across a lot of "stuff" that needs to be processed. Physical stuff I'm not sure what to do with at that moment, just need to move it to in-box and sit down with it all "later." It ends up on my desk. Then my desk is all piled up (and then starts collecting more "stuff" as I don't have time to "process" the stuff on it). Anybody else with this prob, or with suggestions? Thanks! 9 Comments

My question is, does anybody have a better "in-box" idea for stuff that needs to be handled (ex: returned to online shopping place)? , books, other things that may not actually have anything to do with my office, but I do end up processing them here because here is where all the stuff is that I use. (Printer, tape, packing tape, etc.) I have a separate inbox system at home and treat all of my home activities the same as my work activities, with projects, to-dos, etc. So, when stuff goes from home to work, it's part of a specific project that gets done on a specific timeline with specific daily goals. Then I just have a generic home inbox at work that collects stuff that goes to home from work, and I take that home weekly and process those contents with my home inbox in my weekly home review. This actually works really well, and helps me stay on top of letters, bills, things that need to be cleaned, magazines, etc. » POSTED IN:
