I have saved perspective that allows me to pull up all my "Thinking" actions. Then, whenever I'm going to have some time alone with my thoughts, like before a long drive or my morning run, I review the list for something to occupy my mind.

I hope that your "thinking stuff" won't become an "stuck in between bucket" on the way from Inbox to...action ;) Potentially a big energy drain no? But if it keeps you inspired and effiscient it has to work. For me, I'd unconscuously loose some energy not putting things like that into calender to work as a tickler file. GTD says that having things come back at us with a bit of surprise, after you offloaded them and "forgot" in a trusted system - we become more creative, motivated and enthused as oposed to not be motivated or not having an answer and track it on a list. sorry if I'm a pain - i just work for my black belt ;) Had to many appz and system come and go - you know how it is. /Dom
