# 1. Capture It all starts by capturing the “stuff” you take in when researching and learning, as well as questions you might ask yourself along the way. This can involve starting a list, or starting new index pages to begin accumulating information on recurring subjects. # 2. Clarify For each item, tag in the YAML to keep an idea of the next actions needed (or not) for each item, along with a desired outcome. Not every item is a task, but it probably has an action associated with it. The "action" might be in a sense "passive." # 3. Organize Once you’ve clarified your items, you can begin organising by grouping actions into different lists. You can complete things quicker when you perform similar actions in bulk. # 4. Plan Once you have organised lists, you can then begin planning actions into your schedule, with urgent and priority actions at the top of the list. # 5. Execute Lastly, if all goes according to plan, you should be able to execute on your most important tasks, crossing them off your list as you go along. That’s it. That’s how you get things done.
