Using Hyperinbox as the place where you pile "stuff."

It's quite useful to have a trusted system outside your head that compiles all of your to-do's, updates, messages, threads, notifications, calendar invites, and more.

Many people use email for this purpose – but email is designed to exchange emails, not to work as an information compiler.

Hyperinbox captures everything that requires your attention – what you need to do now, later, and someday – and guides you to process them based on priority, preference, and relevance.

Once Hyperinbox is set up and running, you can now trust Hyperinbox as your system of record that keeps all of your "stuff."

Hyperinbox for GTD

Getting Things Done (GTD), is a useful framework for processing things outside your head.

Once notifications from various tools hit Hyperinbox, you can follow the below steps.

1. Identify
   • What is it? Do I fully understand the context of this information?
2. Is it actionable?
   • Do I need to take action? (Yes or No)
3. If No,
   • then hit Archive for future references.
4. If Yes,
   • Plan action. Will this require planning? If yes, then who needs to be involved?
   • You can respond with three actions: Do, Defer, or Delegate.
5. Do
   • Act immediately. Process it. If it's a task, do it right now. Once you're done, hit Archive for future references. If there's any update to it, it'll hit Hyperinbox again.
6. Defer
   • Does it need more time? Is this not a priority for you at the moment? In such cases, consider deferring to a later time.
   • Currently, Hyperinbox has "Star" feature where you can keep a separate list for you to manage. You can use this to collect deferred items.
7. Delegate
   • Am I the right person to do this? Does this require involving others? Then consider delegating it to the appropriate person/entity.
8. Inbox Zero
   • Once you process everything, hit Archive so you can keep them in a safe and separate location for future references.
   • Hit Inbox Zero at least once per day to keep everything out of your sight/mind.
