The goal of this step is to create a structure in which you have your notes grouped at the lowest level. For these groups you will write notes that summerize the groups meaning and you will group these groups again and again write a short summary. | The goal of this step is to create a structure in which you have your notes grouped at the lowest level.

Decide for each note where it can go and group notes sharing a similar meaning together. Resist of putting all notes with the same things mentioned together like "All about mail" or "The Kitchen". Rather try to find the pattern behind the mere content. | |||
The grouping process will require restructuring as well. Don't stick to the groups – if you or somebody else needs to rearrange them thats fine. After you created groups of 2–5 Notes find suitable descriptions for the group and write them sticky notes in a color different from the one you already use. With these groups you will go through the same process of group creation again, now rearranging whole note-groups. This is not as cumbersome as it sounds especially since similar groups often tend to be close to each other anyway. | |||
For these top-groups again write descriptive notes. | |||
