Main Presentation: GTD|REFRESH: Process/Clarify & Organize
-Using voice dictation to capture things in the inbox (out head)
-google now/evernote for capture
-using processing to help with efficiency
-using contexts for helping with decision for processing
-processing happens during weekly review or daily goal setting
-what does this mean for my original intention for the week?
-processing is the algorithm of how to process that data
-input capture output organizing
-omnifocus land input = throw it in; process = where you going to bump into this next
-processing making a value statement ; is this related to another project; is it a next action
example: you receive an email "person get a phd" START the assessment that spirals down a filter of things; make a decision with 5 mins; than the brain can rest ; than you review/organize at the appropriate time
-somedays =im going to do
-maybe = bucketlist (prod prod for additional information)
-think about continued process improvement (every system can be tweaked)
-diff btwn someday/maybe and projects is the fact that data has been processed
