The list that collects what everyone owes you

Half of running a business is waiting on other people — the quote answer, the signed contract, the payment. GTD calls it the Waiting For list, and nobody keeps it because it's pure bookkeeping. Miles keeps it now: every emailed ask gets tracked, every reply gets caught, and silence gets a friendly follow-up you send with one tap from your Stream.

Do this

  1. It starts automatically: when an email Miles sends for you asks someone for something, he files it under Waiting in Get Work Done — linked to the real email thread, with days-waiting counting on the task.
  2. Replies come to you: the moment they answer, the task jumps back to your Inbox and a 📬 card lands in your Stream — "Sandra replied, you're unblocked." Tap it and handle the next step with Miles.
  3. Silence gets chased: after about four quiet days, a card arrives with a follow-up already written — warm, short, zero guilt. Send it with one tap, snooze it with "Not now," or tap "Edit with Miles" to tweak the wording.
  4. Backfill day one: ask "who's ignoring me?" — Miles sweeps your sent mail for unanswered asks you never tracked and offers to add the real ones, so the list is honest immediately.
  5. Make it part of your week: in your GTD weekly review, walk the Waiting list oldest-first with Miles. Every item gets a decision — still waiting, nudge now, or let it go gracefully.
  6. Nothing sends itself: the Send button on a follow-up card is the same tap-approval as everything else in Bizer.

Prompts to steal

Who's ignoring me? What am I waiting on right now? Track the reply to that quote I just sent. They haven't answered in a week — nudge them, nicely. Walk my Waiting list with me — oldest first.
