Capture

Get commitments out of memory and into a system you trust.

Next actions

Translate vague outcomes into the next visible action required to move them forward.

Projects

Anything requiring more than one action can be tracked separately from the next-action list.

Review

The system only remains trustworthy if you revisit it often enough to delete stale items and update changing commitments.
