Centralize Your Inboxes

Bring all tasks, broadly defined, into one todo list.

Life is full of inboxes: email, DMs across multiple apps, bookmarks, your Downloads folder, physical mail. These are inboxes because they fill up over time and need action to empty. They’re domain-specific task lists.

“Centralizing your inboxes” means moving all these tasks from their silos into one central todo list.

Example: daily “catch up” task

1. Go through all communication apps and triage unread conversations: reply immediately or make a task to reply later.
2. File the contents of the Downloads folder.
3. Go through bookmarks and turn them into tasks (e.g., bookmark an article → task to read it).
