What is the CORD system?

CORD is a framework from the Productivity Ninja philosophy that helps you decide what to do with everything that lands in your world — emails, requests, ideas, tasks, and anything else competing for your attention.
It stands for:
Capture — Get it out of your head and into a trusted system immediately. Justtasks is your capture tool. The Master List, Ideas list, and Thinking list exist precisely for this purpose — nothing should live in your head when it could live in the system.
Organise — Once captured, decide where it belongs. Is it a task for today? Does it belong to a project? Is it something you're waiting on someone else for? Putting things in the right place is what makes the system work.
Review — Regularly go through your lists to keep them current and meaningful. A list you don't trust is a list you won't use. The weekly review is the heartbeat of a healthy system.
Do — With everything captured, organised, and reviewed, you can focus entirely on doing — with confidence that you're working on the right things.
The CORD system is the foundation that Justtasks is built around. Every list, every feature, every design decision traces back to it.
