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

Desk seems obvious at the moment, but then I'm still in the same place I was when the return-items (for example) were on the floor in the living room. I'm not ready to take care it right now, and so now instead of on the floor, they're on my desk! I have a second desk (a table) for this things. Let's check: you process your return-items (does not take a lot of time, just enter the actions into your list), then where dou you put these things physically? You need a place. It can't be your inbox, the books are processed already. Maybe an "out"-section on your bookshelf? A board devoted to books you have to return to the lib... ...or to the seller? » POSTED IN:
