	The step of engage concerns making decisions about what to do, what not to do, and how to feel good about both. If all the previous steps in the Five Steps of Mastering Workflow have been fully completed you should be able to use your intuition in this step. There are three models in the methodology you can use to frame your options between actions based on the situation being in the moment, daily work or for reviewing work as described below and in the figure Five Steps of Mastering Workflow - engage. <ref name = "GTD"/> [[File:5StepWorkflow5.png\|~~x300px~~\|frame\|right\| Five Steps of Mastering Workflow - engage (own figure)]]		The step of engage concerns making decisions about what to do, what not to do, and how to feel good about both.

	The step of capture is to move anything that has appeared in the mind or in your physical environment that requires an action or decision, the so-called stuff, from there and into an in-tray in the form of a placeholder. A placeholder can be a note, an audio-recording, an email, or something else that represents the stuff-item. The in-trays can be physical, paper-based note taking devices, digital/audio note-taking devices, an digital inbox etc. <ref name = "GTD"/>		The step of capture is to move anything that has appeared in the mind or in your physical environment that requires an action or decision, the so-called stuff, from there and into an in-tray in the form of a placeholder.
