GTD Tip: Zero-In using MindManager and TPAssist

As you use your system and even conduct your Weekly Review, you will inevitably be "Zeroing IN".

Below is a variation of the "Zero In" process populated with steps that you may find useful as you manage your lists via MindManager and TPAssist tools.

1. Empty Wallet, Bags, Brief Cases etc into your Physical In-Tray.
2. Empty Tickler into your Physical In-Tray.
3. Empty E-Mail IN-BASKET (See http://tpassist.blogspot.com/2009/05/gtd-style-e-mail-processing-using.html for setup details).
4. Process Physical In-Tray.
5. Process Audio/Voice Recordings.
6. Process any electronically captured notes (i.e. using the 2 minute rule and the workflow)
7. Synchronise PDA (and if using Outlook, use TPAssist 2007's Document Tools to bring back changes).
8. Review Dashboard "ACTION" lists - "Send Topic" on any items that are complete or need attention to the IN- BASKET.
9. Process any other form of electronic "IN".
10. Process the Dashboard "IN-BASKET", using the 2 Minute rule and Workflow to determine where the item should be sent.
