When to organize?

[Jamie Elis]

I finally understand the difference between Processing and Organizing and that they should be treated as separate activites, espeically if there is a lot of stuff being processed. But, when one is doing a real "bulk processing" to get the system up and running again, how much processing should one do before organizing the output of that phase?

I am processing huge piles that accumated over a few months. As actions come to mind, project ideas or things that I need to consider for ACTIVE or SDMB projects, I have been writing them on slips of paper. I seem to generate these at the rate of about 20 in 2 hours. And, I am happy to say, I am also indentfying a lot of trash and also filing items into folders that I created when I was working the system more attentively.

Should I wait and organize these slips when the first big pile is done or should I be doing this at some other interval?
