Try asking these questions during more complex project planning that involves multiple people or inputs:

• Whose input do you need?
• Are there any legal issues?
• What are the financial implications?
• Are there major risks?

Next time a project keeps showing up in your Weekly Review: Don’t add more tasks.

Run it through the Natural Planning Model.

GTD Coach Meg Edwards shares how to stop endlessly skimming and start clarifying your “ins.”

[GTD Focus @gtdfocus]

Clarifying without organizing creates a new problem.

You know what the email means…
but have nowhere to put it.

So it stays in your inbox making all that work of processing seem pointless.

[GTD Focus @gtdfocus]

If emails stay in your inbox forever, there’s usually one reason:

You don’t have trusted places to put them.

No buckets → inbox becomes storage.

[GTD Focus @gtdfocus]

The GTD clarifying sequence is simple:

1⃣ What is it?
2⃣ Is it actionable?

If yes → what’s the next action?

Skip step 1 and everything breaks.

A GTD coaching moment Meg Edwards sees all the time from clients:

“I don’t know where this email goes.”

The first question she asks:

“What is it?”

The client usually sits their in silence for a few moments before saying "I don't know."

That's where the real work begins.

[GTD Focus @gtdfocus]

One of the most common productivity mistakes:

Trying to organize something before you’ve clarified what it is.

That never works.

[GTD Focus @gtdfocus]

If you feel the urge to constantly scan your inbox, this might be why:

You don’t trust it will get fully clarified later.

So you keep checking.
