The method
The Rule of Three.
Agile Results
J.D. MeierThe Rule of Three. Three outcomes for the day, week, month, year. Three is the number your brain can hold while it lives the day.
GTD
Getting Things Done · David AllenCapture everything, decide once, review weekly. The Inbox, the Agenda and the Friday reflection are the GTD discipline, in your own files.
The 12 Week Year
Brian MoranYour year, your pick: the twelve months of the calendar, or twelve weeks for a faster finish. A closer outcome is a better outcome — urgency creates focus, distance creates drift.

- Journal across devices
- Capture from anywhere
- Focus in your pocket
Drafts
Drafts do the math
Write it as you think — sums, dates, units, hours. The answer stands in the margin as you type.
Agenda
Catch it anywhere
A to-do can start anywhere — in a draft, a note, the Journal or the Inbox. Give it a day and the Agenda gathers it.
- A draft with a time
- A note with a deadline
- A to-do in the Journal
- Inbox: just say when
- One Agenda holds them all
Your files
Files you own
No account. You own your Org or Markdown vault — nothing else.
Plain Org or Markdown. Every page is a plain .org or .md file — open it in any editor, search it, keep it forever.
Denote comes along. The notes you already keep open as they are, ready on day one.
