Also, stop trolling the thread.
If you don't have anything to say that's relevant to the question, don't post
The collection process is different than your eventual Projects List. You've gotten a lot of useful information in this thread, but I would just say - don't get confused between the collection phase and the organization phase. Your "trusted buckets" will be your Projects List(s), your Someday Maybe list(s), and your context-based Next Action lists.

In the quote you include here, David suggests the one item per piece of paper strategy - especially for your initial mindsweep - so that it is easier for you to focus on PROCESSING one thing at a time. and by processing, I mean asking "What is my desired outcome? What is my next action?"

(There is also a case whereby you may want to work with folders instead of lists (either paper lists or electronic lists), in which case you would keep actions, projects, etc. on separate pieces of paper in a folder.

Hope that helps...
