I agree. The complete GTD is collect, process, organize, review, do. I actually think Simon's creation would work pretty well as a collection, but he seems to think it comes in at the processing stage (and that's of course his prerogative). GTD also warns against having too many inboxes so Simon may have a point.
I too need a place to stuff the stuff that I run across or think of while I'm processing. So I've created project called Stuff and made it the first default tiddler. The next actions there are actually unprocessed stuff and so far I've been clearing it out regularly. Not an ideal solution, but so far, so good. k.
