Actions with a due date stay in in their original list (unless they’re also given a scheduled date). Once the due date arrives, they get a Focus star, and will continue to show their due date until completed.

If you need a boost to get started, you can find out more about due dates and adding attributes.

There are 2 types of filtering available in Nirvana:

• Global area filtering: This allows you to change your whole view so that the entire app, except for the Inbox, shows items specific to a chosen area.
• On-the-fly filtering: Set within a list, this displays only items containing your selected tag(s) and/or attribute(s) until you view a new list or clear these filters.

Explore more information about filtering.

Take a look at these articles to learn how to focus items and to learn about the available views for a Focus list.

An example is:

• Done group: Present in most lists, this is a group of actions or projects which have been completed, but have not yet moved to the Logbook.

Related to items:

• Item counts: The number of items associated with a particular list. This is displayed next to the name of your chosen lists in the side navigation menu.
• Item properties: The information assigned to the item for organization purposes. These properties include: tags, state, and action-related attributes (time, energy, and due date).

Some examples include:

• Projects list: A collection of projects.
• References list: A collection of reference lists.
• Focus list: A collection of items that have been manually or automatically focused.
• Action lists: Collections of items that have been filtered by state. Action lists include:
  • Next: A list for actions that are to be done soon, but don’t necessarily need the Focus flag.
  • Later: Not technically part of GTD®, this optional list serves as a middle ground between Next and Someday.
  • Waiting: A list for actions that have been delegated to others.
  • Scheduled: A list for actions that have been deferred until a specified date.
  • Someday: A list for actions that you intend to do. Eventually.
