I am mostly done with the book, and am wanting to go ahead and start the process of gathering everything into in to start processing it.

My biggest problem is I am kinda confused.

I am suppose to create lists of projects, someday maybes, incubate and next actions.

So does that mean when I am done i have 4 basic lists?

Then from there I further organize them into @computer, @desk, @home, etc...

the lists thing still has me a bit confused.

Thanks

Yes, there are 4 basic lists.

Only the next action list is organized by context, since the context defines the resources needed to do the action.

keep reviewing the book. Read it once to get the flavor, and then WORK through the book the second time slowly. Just like DA said, there is a lot of info in the book. Its more like a little textbook, really.

4 key action categories

I like to think of there being 4 key action categories:

• Projects
• Calendar
• Next Actions
• Waiting for

Most people further subdivide Next Actions into contexts, i.e., where it's possible to do them, so that they don't waste time looking at inappropriate work. These are typically @Agendas, @Anywhere, @Calls, @Computer, @Errands, @Home, and @Office.

In addition are folders for project support, and Someday/Maybe.

You're doing great - stick with it. I think it will "click" as you get deeper into it.
