Some of us work in very different ways ... I hardly ever use my Inbox.
90% of the tasks I add fit neatly into existing projects. I just add them directly to the correct project. [I have to call to get the car fixed --> Project car, context calls.]
9% of the remainder come into my mind as a new project, with tasks popping into my mind right away. Again, I don't bother with the Inbox — I go to the correct folder and start building my project. [Clean out the garage = Project, parallel, sweep floor, remove trash, ... ]
The last 1% may sit in the Inbox for a little while. [SF con costume for my daughter ... this sat in my Inbox until I had time to flesh out the project.]
I also like having the Inbox at the top of my Projects screen ... so I can see right away when I have something in there.
One of my beefs with other GTD software was that it forced me to use the Inbox. OF lets me avoid it.
