This page is a public preview. To use the template, make your own copy:

1. Duplicate. Click the overlapping-squares icon at the top right. Sign in if Notion asks. Use your copy from here on.
2. Capture three loose ends. In your copy, open the Tasks database below, choose its Inbox view, and click New for each one.
3. Choose one next action. Open one item, save the original words in the page body under Capture:, rename the title to the next physical step, set Status to Next, and choose a Context.

Template preview links: Inbox · Next actions · Waiting · Projects · Setup guide

Once a week, run the weekly review across all lists.

Three examples

Fictional examples. These are not rows in your task database.

• Capture: "dentist" → Clarified: "Call Dr. Lee's office to book a cleaning" · Next action · Phone
• Capture: "Sam's slides" → Clarified: "Sam promised on Monday to send slides by Friday" · Waiting
• Capture: "move apartments" → Clarified: Project "Moved into new apartment", with next action "Search online for three local moving companies to request quotes" · Computer

Your next actions

Is Next actions empty? That's normal at first. In your copy, open the Tasks database below and choose its Inbox view, pick one item, keep the original words under Capture: in the body, rename it to the next physical step, set Status to Next, and choose a Context: Phone, Computer, Errands, Home, or Anywhere. If the outcome needs more than one step, link a Project (in the Projects database below) named for the finished result. Use Waiting only after a request is sent or someone owes a promise or order, not for work you plan to hand off. When choosing work, check your calendar first, then pick by your current context, time, energy, and priority.
