Highlights

For instance: for operational to-dos, this means (Allen, 2015): You should be able to record a task anywhere You regularly drain tasks from this list You regularly delegate, refactor, or delete tasks which you can’t prioritize Taken together, these properties ensure that when you record a task, you can stop thinking about it. Ubiquitous capture isn’t enough, as most to-do systems demonstrate. If you don’t regularly review your task list and decide to delete or re-strategize lingering tasks, you won’t be able to trust that you’ll follow up on tasks you record.

Effective quick capture is critical to the creative mind
