Creative Ideas

One important step in the Capture phase, is to capture anything that have your attention. A lot of what have our attention are ideas. Most GTD App does not focus on this area, however, Claritist treats this as important as Next Actions. 

When an idea pops up, Capture it in the Inbox, and during Clarify, if it is not an action, then most of the time, we just need ourselves to be reminded of it periodically. This is where a Someday/Maybe list comes in. Someday/Maybe lists does not necessary means to be a task that we do not want to do now, or a project that we do not have time for, but Someday/Maybe lists at the very core, is about anything that we want to be periodically reminded of, ideally every week.

In Claritist, it is as easy as creating a Someday/Maybe list called "Ideas", and then moving things into it. They do not need to be further organized in the list, as long as they all represent ideas that are not actions, and we want to be periodically reminded of them.
