2. Process this pile from the top down. Never re-sort, never skip a single piece of paper, never put a piece of paper back on the pile. Do what needs to be done with that paper, and then move on to the next in the pile. The options:
trash it,
delegate it,
file it,
do it,
or put it on a list to do later.
In that order of preference.
Do it if it takes 2 minutes or less to complete.
If it takes more, and you can’t trash, delegate or file it, then put it on a list of to-dos (more on your to-do list in another post).
