Nothing due today. File it with a date, or trust the field.
A two-person GTD dispatch board
Daily dispatch ·
Everything due, promised, and ready to move — gathered into one briefing. Show up, pick the next physical action, and clear the field.
Nothing due today. File it with a date, or trust the field.
No stragglers. The field is clear.
No actions parked. Capture something, then sharpen it into a next action.
Nothing is parked on anyone. Good.
A free space for the day's intentions and loose thoughts.
Capture
Empty the head here, untrusted and unfiltered. Then clarify each item into its next action, project, or someday place.
Organize
A project is any outcome needing more than one action. Name the outcome, then define the very next physical action that moves it.
Horizon · future
File things for a future date. The daily briefing replays anything that comes due on the day.
Delegated
Actions parked on someone else, or on an outside response. Review them so nothing rots.
Refresh
Not now, not never. Park the someday ideas where they can be picked up during a weekly review.

The board speaks to a WhatsApp bot so either of you can capture, ask for today's briefing, or pull the next action by message.
Point the board at your bot relay (the URL your WhatsApp bot forwards messages to and receives replies from). Text stays in this browser unless you run your own relay.
Words the bot understands when you or your partner write in.

This is a static board: on this device the data lives in your browser. Export a snapshot to hand to your partner or restore on another machine. Either of you can import it — the board is for two.
