Hello,
I have a question about how to deal with the horizons of focus. David Allen suggests working from the bottom (Ground) up (Horizon 5).
Do I interpret it correctly, that this approach refers exclusively to „Capture“?
Capture:
When I collect things, I work from the bottom up.
Clarify and Organize:
When I process the things I have collected, I work from top to bottom. That means I think about which goals follow from my vision, which areas of responsibility in turn follow from the goals and which projects and next steps follow from the areas of responsibility.
What is your opinion about this?
Do you also work this way or differently?
All the best!

Capture:
When I collect things, I work from the bottom up.
- First I collect all the stuff that is in my head, my physical environment,… (next steps, projects).
- Then I make myself aware of my areas of responsibility and focus and collect everything I can think of. That means, that I connect the projects to the areas of responsibility and focus. At the same time new projects could be created, because some new ideas come to my head.
- Then I think about, which goals I have. This time I connect all the areas of responsibility and focus to the goals. Through becoming aware of the goals maybe new areas of responsibility and focus could be created.
- Then I think about my vision and connect the goals to the vision.
- And finally I think what comes to mind for my purpose.
