5-minute activation
Clarify is GTD-inspired, but activation isn’t a methodology class. Get three real tasks in, clarify one, and feel Next Actions work—then deepen when you’re ready.
Open Inbox and dump three things that are actually on your mind—messy wording is fine. Don’t organize yet. The goal is relief, not a perfect taxonomy.
Pick one item. Ask: what’s the next visible, doable step? Save it as a Next Action. Leave the other two in Inbox until you’re ready.
Switch to Actions. Your clarified task should be waiting. Do it—or filter by context when you have more.
Skip Reminders, Google Tasks, iCloud sync, and Siri until the capture → clarify → act loop feels useful.
Once you have enough commitments to care about, use guided Weekly Review (Lifetime Pro) to walk Inbox, Projects, Waiting For, and Someday.
