Define and Organize Your Work
Once out of you identify actionable tasks and decide on the next actions. Organize tasks by context, time, and energy required. By how quickly they move you towards your vision and goals.

- Context: Group tasks by where you need to be or the tools you need.
- Time: Allocate tasks based on the time you have available.
- Energy: Match tasks to your energy levels throughout the day.
