"Essential GTD Rule #1 **Maintain the hard edges between the categories of things you encounter**. [[David Allen]] sees seven primary categories. This is where I think most people lose their productivity edge—**they do not keep a ruthlessly hard edge between these categories which then leads to inconsistent placeability and findability, which then leads to a loss of confidence in their system, or at least a slowing down in their productivity—and probably a half-effective workaround**."
