Discussion Forum > Low-Level Systems
In SoPP, a low level system is any foundational routine, practice, or habit that deals with some aspect of your life. In particular, I would say the primary low level system that is emphasized the most in that book is your time management system (SoPP give the PTMS, or 5/2 no-list method). So, whether or not to use separate lists to manage habits or not is in itself a low level system subject to questioning.

Mark H.:
I think this depends on what each system demands. For example: email.
Let's say you use FVP or GTD. "Should" email-to-reply-to be a separate list? With those systems I would enter each email as a task into the long list.
If I use a NL system, then of course email-to-reply-to would be it's own list, probably a label in my email app or similar.
So, as Aaron Hsu already wrote, each of these systems would be subject to questioning and they would influence each other. No hard rules.

The questioning method of the low-level systems is also recommended.
Should the low-level systems be handled separately on a separate list(s) rather than integrated with other items, so they can be practiced in order, and so if questioned they can be improved?
Does this include any daily routines?
It seems that this is almost the same as habit formation, or is there a difference?
