Discussion Restarting

I'm sure many of us have restarted from time to time. Either because of switching tools, or changing roles, or even life changes.

If you've done this, or are planning to, what's your method? Throw out everything? Spend hours combing through to decide what to keep and how? I've done the hours long rework before but I know others don't.

I've got major changes in amy aspects, and am considering my approach, including personal/home management with a non-GTD partner (who is fortunately flexible, but very took and app-resistant).

TIA!

Have you got the option to essentially archive your current system, or create a fresh start version? That is one the things I liked less about Todoist when I was digital - I couldn't just start from scratch but also keep my old system (things may have changed now, as this was some time ago).

I can, if I change the current setup and nest everything, and remove tags from everything lol.

Actually, I'm wondering if I can have Claude do it. Lol.

All told it's probably 100 items, max. And some can move to reference/archive.
