materials can be under the same topic or not based on the collecting perspective (as the topic), for example:12

If the topic is discussing GTD methodology, then the followings in the same topic:

  • What is GTD
  • comparison of GTD against other methods
  • general principles
  • recommendation tools
  • etc.

but if the topic is about GTD workflow, then

  • general principles
  • recommendation tools are in one note, but
  • introduction of GTD
  • comparison are not

Similarly, if the focus is how to apply GTD, then we can consider

  • general principles
  • recommendation tools can be re-mixed horizontally.3
