Positive Analogy:

• Funnel = Inbox
• Cups = projects
• Detection and routing = weekly review

Negative Analogy:

• Cups are sorted in a first-in-last-out order (which is what happens to next actions if you don’t do a weekly review).
• The pre-filtering of next actions vs. drone work is not shown.

Lesson:

• A lot of the battle of GTD is getting the correct number of cups. Having a place to group things before working on them is critical for eliminating clutter, and for clearing the mind.
