Once you’ve got your Inbox set up, you need to clear it up on a regular basis. How? Watch me do it… one item at a time:
Question: How often do you zero-out your Inbox? Are you consistent? What’s your biggest challenge with the Inbox?

Processing an inbox to zero is what GTD teaches. Why is it that the Nozbe GTD Service does not have a proper inbox. Instead, it’s a Project which goes against Logic.
When you process the Project (Inbox) in Nozbe, how do you get it to Zero. There is no where for your Actionable Items to go (Deferred). They stay in the Inbox unless the task is a Project itself.
What about all the Actionable Task that are not projects? Where do they go?
I find Nozbe to fail in following the basic fundamentals of Processing and Inbox as it relates to GTD.

The thing is, that in Nozbe, you can treat projects as “projects that lead to getting something done” or “containers for similar actions”.
I have three inboxes in my Nozbe – “Inbox” where every unralated action goes to, “Private” project where all the non-work related actions go and “Office” where all the work-related actions go… and I process all these inboxes.
Nozbe with this kind of project structure gives flexibility to all the users – those GTD-blackbelts as well as those non-GTD achievers. Thanks for your comments Damian!
