The Lists option under the Organize menu gives you access to your inventory of reminders, sorted into their corresponding organizational categories.

When you Clarify captured items, each one is placed into one of these lists according to their specific meaning and nature.

From here, you can review and update items—edit, add, or delete information; move them to another list; or discard them.

The lists are the following:

• Inbox: The list where all your captured items go first and remain until you Clarify them.
• Calendar: Holds actions scheduled for specific dates. It can also include date-sensitive information—like deadlines or start dates.
• Next Actions: Contains all actions you need to do yourself as soon as possible, without a set date.
• Waiting For: A list of delegated actions being handled by others. While you’re not doing them, you’re still responsible for tracking their progress.
• Someday/Maybe: Holds ideas and actions you’re not ready to commit to yet. Review it during your Weekly Review to evaluate what’s still relevant and Clarify when the time is right.
• Reference Material: Stores useful information you might need for ongoing projects or future actions.
• Tickler File: For actions or reminders you don’t need to see until a specific future date. For more information about this list take a look at this tutorial.
• Trash: Stores items you’ve discarded in the last seven days. After that, they’re automatically deleted from the system.
• Done: Shows all the actions you’ve completed.
