Anything that comes to you goes here first: a task, a project idea, a thought about the next session. Click New, write it down and keep going.
The tasks you are working on this session or this week. Keep it to a handful.
Your latest session notes. Read the top one before you start.
Projects
Every project you are considering, working on or resting. Finished and let-go projects move to Archive. Give each a finish line someone else could check. Keep the Active column short: one or two at a time is plenty.
Rounds
Finite stretches of work on one project, five weeks by default. Each round has a finish line, a decision date or two and an end. Write the handoff on its last day.
Tasks
Every task is Now, Next or Later. Under How big, mark one Too big if you cannot start it in a sitting, and break it down. Add a real deadline only when the date exists outside you.
Archive
Finished projects and the ones you let go, with a line on where each ended. Kept for the record and for the next project.
Plan
One page for each project, written before its first round and read again at the start of each one: what it is, why now, the finish line and the first round.
Desk
What sits beside the work. Sort the inbox at the start of a session, check the deadline calendar and leave a session note at the end if it helps the next one start.
Resources
When you're stuck, with a table for naming a stall and three short guides. The End-of-round review. A line on every term the Organizer uses.
The round you are in, its finish line and the next date you decide how it is going.
