Unless you&#x27;re defining &quot;pointless&quot; incorrectly, you&#x27;re wrong.<p>The start of the &quot;inbox processing&quot; step is to decide if something is <i>worth doing</i>. That filters the pointless things right at the start. Only then do you do it (if it&#x27;s less than 2 minutes work), or add it into the rest of the GTD process: Delegate it, or defer it.
