Inbox

The Inbox is a dynamic view of unorganized tasks. A task and every ancestor must have no project, no plan/due date, no action list, and no Exclude from Inbox tag.

Ordinary tags and defer dates do not directly change membership. Removing organization fields can make a task return.

The Inbox is not a permanent category. Regularly clarify each item and decide on action, project, waiting, someday, or deletion.
