Capture unfinished tasks

Collect open tasks from notes, messages, and memory into one temporary list. Do not organize while collecting.

Close or schedule

Complete anything that takes only a few minutes. Schedule important work that needs dedicated time and remove tasks that no longer matter.

Choose three outcomes

Select three outcomes that would make the coming week useful. Outcomes are easier to prioritize than a long undifferentiated task list.

Prepare the first step

Make Monday easier by preparing the first document, reminder, or workspace you will need. Reducing startup friction improves follow-through.
