heh...you pick the best example. I have a bucket called "Dance with Communication" cuz that's exactly what David Allen coached me to do in his workshop :)
sometimes have no idea what you intuition is telling you - just make the call! (this is partially why David insists on getting through you call lists in whatever deadtime you have available)
that said, I resist making calls just like every other human being (ok i speak for myself :)

I also have a folder called "rubber hit the road!" - this is effectively my runway - for anyone that is on the edge of my life (at least I claim to be) - you really can't see what's ahead of you - sometimes things come up and you know it's an immediate project you have to deal with - not something to react to but something that deals with your current reality!
In my weekly reviews, I tend to organize the projects that "hit the road" into my main hierarchy and go from there.
hope these give 2 new perspectives on the matter - good luck!
