Note that can't be processed

I have some notes that I can't process:
- Transfer Finished Action to Weekly Review instead of Deleting (Evernote)
- Watch Video on Accounting once per week.

How do you deal with notes like these?
 
1. @Work
  • Transfer Finished Actions in Evernote to Weekly Review file (instead of deleting)
    • due on day before weekly review occurs and recurring every 7 days thereafter.

2. @Work
  • Watch Video on Accounting
    • due on Friday and recurring every 7 days thereafter.

I hope this helps.

Joe
 
I love checklists....

1. I add this to my weekly review checklist
2. I add this to my daily checklist. I have a section of this checklist for day specific items and so this would appear only on my Friday checklist. You could also just add this as a recurring tickler as Joe mentioned.

The best solution probably depends on your GTD list manager & calendar.....
 
Process v. Organize

Be careful not to blend the process and organize phases.

Process is thinking about the item and walking through the Workflow Diagram - What is it? Etc. You can only trust your organizing choice by finishing your thinking in processing.

I catch myself jumping ahead all the time which leads to that hesitation of, "where does this go?".
