-- [ ] Collect Loose Papers and Materials: Pull out all miscellaneous
- pieces of paper, business cards, receipts, and so on that have crept
- into the crevices of your desk, clothing, and accessories. Put it
- all in your in-tray for processing.
-- [ ] Get “IN” to Zero: Review any meeting notes and miscellaneous
- scribbles on notepaper or in your mobile devices. Decide and list
- any action items, projects, waiting-fors, calendar events, and
- someday/maybes, as appropriate. File any reference notes and
- materials. Get the “in” areas of e-mails, texts, and voice mails to
- zero. Be ruthless with yourself, processing all notes and thoughts
- relative to interactions, projects, new initiatives, and input that
- have come your way since your last download, and purging those not
- needed.

-- [ ] Review Action Lists: Mark off completed actions. Review for
- reminders of further action steps to record. Many times I’ve been
- moving so fast I haven’t had a chance to mark off many completed
- items on my list, much less figure out what to do next. This is the
- time to do that.
-- [ ] Archive completed or inactive projects, briefly reviewing each
- note and moving it to other notebooks if it could be useful there.
-- [ ] Review [[https://calendar.google.com/calendar/r/agenda][Previous Calendar Data]]: Review the past two to three
- weeks of calendar entries in detail for remaining or emergent action
- items, reference information, and so on, and transfer that data into
- the active system. Grab every “Oh! That reminds me . . . !” with its
- associated actions. You will likely notice meetings and events that
- you attended, which trigger thoughts of what to do next about the
- content. Be able to archive your past calendar with nothing left
- uncaptured.
-- [ ] Review Upcoming Calendar: Look at further calendar entries
- (long-and short-term). Capture actions about projects and
- preparations required for upcoming events. Your calendar is one of
- the best checklists to review regularly, to prevent last-minute
- stress and trigger creative front-end thinking.* Upcoming travel,
- conferences, meetings, holidays, etc. should be assessed for
- projects to add to your “Projects” and “Next Actions” lists for any
- of those situations that are already on your radar but not yet on
- cruise control.
-- [ ] Review Waiting For List: Any needed follow-up? Need to send an
- e-mail to get a status on it? Need to add an item to someone’s
- Agenda list to update when you’ll talk with him or her? Record any
- next actions. Check off any already received.
-- [ ] Review Project (and Larger Outcome) Lists: Evaluate the status
- of projects, goals, and outcomes, one by one, ensuring that at least
- one current kick-start action for each is in your system. Browse
- through any active and relevant project plans, support materials,
- and any other work-in-progress material to trigger new actions,
- completions, waiting-fors, etc.
-- [ ] Review Stuck Projects: Stuck projects are project that have no
- next actions. For the definitions of what a project is and how to
- check if it stuck, customize the variable ‘org-stuck-projects’.
-- [ ] Review Any Relevant Checklists: Is there anything else that you
- haven’t done, that you need or want to do, given your various
- engagements, interests, and responsibilities?a

-- [ ] Review Someday Maybe List: Check for any projects that may have
- become more interesting or valuable to activate, and transfer them
- to Projects. Delete any that have simply stayed around much longer
- than they should, as the world and your interest have changed enough
- to take them off even this informal radar. Add any emerging
- possibilities that you’ve just started thinking about.
-- [ ] Be Creative and Courageous: Are there any new, wonderful,
- harebrained, creative, thought-provoking, risk-taking ideas you can
- capture and add into your system, or “external brain”?
