In this example, we explore how to capture a note, idea, task or next action.
1. Configure a location for your capture items to land:
-
Open MindManager.
-
Open you main Dashboard mind map.
-
In this map, decide where new items will land (i.e. create and format a "GTD In-Tray"
topic).
-
Right-Click on the newly created "GTD In-Tray" topic and choose Add to Quick Links
2. Capture your new item.
-
Open your capture tool (click on the icon in the System Tray)
-
In the Capture Dialog, click "Refresh Category/Tag List" (to pickup the newly created
quick link).
-
Now in the notes area, enter your capture item.
-
Now make sure you pick your new "GTD In-Tray" tag from the list on the left.
-
Press ENTER or Click "Send to Basket"
3. Process your captured item
-
Return to MindManager.
-
Click "Process" in the "Capture" group in the TPAssist Ribbon (in MindManager 6, see
the Tools menu).
-
Return to your main Dashboard mind map and the newly created item should be there
waiting (i.e. in the "GTD In-Tray" topic).
