Organize step 3 is all about putting things on maps

Actionable items go on calendar or next action list or project list

Non actionable items go in reference, or someday/maybe, or trash

The step 2 after capture is clarify and it is CRUCIAL because it involves thinking.

Question tree:
What is it, is it actionable?

Yes-
Next action? Note it.
What done done look like? (Project - eg. get drivers license or sign new syndication partner)

No-

No - trash
Yes- reference, checklist, someday/maybe

4. Review the three as mentioned in first list
