GTD workflow in Mindwtr
Mindwtr follows the five GTD stages: Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, and Engage. You can use the app casually, but the structure is built to support a trusted system.
Capture: get it out of your head
Put incomplete thoughts, obligations, ideas, and reminders into Inbox. Capture should be fast, not perfect.
Good captures:

Clarify: decide what it means
Clarifying turns vague input into an action, project, reference note, waiting item, someday item, or deletion.
Ask:
- Is it actionable?
- What is the next physical or digital action?
- Is one step enough, or is this a project?
- Does someone else own the next move?
Organize: put it where it belongs
Mindwtr gives GTD concepts their own places:
| GTD idea | Mindwtr surface |
|---|---|
| Unprocessed input | Inbox |
| Multi-step outcome | Projects |
| Ready action | Next Actions |
| Context | Contexts |
| Delegated item | Waiting For |
| Deferred idea | Someday |
| Timed commitment | Calendar and due dates |
Reflect: review before the system gets stale
Review keeps Mindwtr from becoming a task pile. Use review to process Inbox, scan projects, clear stale waiting items, and refresh Focus.
Engage: choose with confidence
When the system is current, Focus and Next Actions become easier to trust. Pick work based on context, time, energy, and priority instead of rethinking the whole system every time.
