# [[The Action Method]]
The Action Method is a [[Productivity]] system that involves separating task- or project-based information into three different buckets, usually digital folders:
1. *Action Steps:* information you can action right now
2. *References:* information that does not need to be acted upon, but which you might need to review later
3. *Back-burner items:* information that you want to have resurfaced later, but which you don't need now (kind of like a [[Tickler folder]] )[^simplilearn]
