Baskets?
Geoff Cheshire | Feb 8 2008
I'm rolling along with GTD--at work I've gone through my initial collection to IN and then recycled, trashed, and filed just about everything (except a pile of stuff in a spare office that needs to be archived). I'm using Things.app as my task-management organizer. Simple question: do you all use desk baskets? If so, how many and what for? I have a mailbox in the front where all my office mail/documents arrive. Do I need stuff on my desk as well? 3 Comments

I have some stackable wire mesh baskets on my desk. One is an inbox, which catches any receipts, mail, and even bulky things like my camera when I need to unload the pictures. One is labeled "WIP" for papers I need for projects and tasks that aren't quite finished, so I'm not ready to file them permanently. And one is an outbox, which is usually for stuff I need to give to my wife (outgoing mail seems to work better when I set it on the ledge by the door). The nice thing is that because they're see-through mesh, they don't seem to take up a lot of volume on the desk, plus when I stack them it limits the footprint. » POSTED IN:
