If you don't have read the book, it's highly recommended. I'm far from being a GTD-expert, but I'll try to share my impressions. In the collect phase, you must ask yourself "What is this? This is actionable?" for each item of your inbox stuff. After process the (non-actionable) items, they'll be classified in one of the following: a) Trash. Items non-actionable that you don't really need anymore; b) A thought or an idea for the future. A thing that you will not do in the present, but would like to reconsidering in the future; c) A Reference. An item that you don't wanna trash because is important to support your activities in some manner but is not related directly with none of your projects. Months ago I've tried to start an implementation of GTD and I made a big collect of all of my stuff. My annotations, books, some friend's business cards, and so on were items that I've retained for reference. Best regards. -- MARCELO DE F.
