Every open loop goes here — no sorting, no tags, no due dates. Dump it in seconds, and it's out of your head. Review whenever you feel like it. Or never. The inbox doesn't judge.
Open loops aren't distracting because they're urgent — they're distracting because your brain doesn't trust you'll remember them. Once it's written down somewhere safe, the loop goes quiet. That's why this inbox has no folders, no priorities, no dates: every field is friction, and friction is where loops escape back into your head.
Do this now: drop in whatever's been circling while you read this. Then get on with your day — the list will keep. If a clean slate is what you're after, the start page is a good next stop.
