# The backlog
> Where work starts in Tylon: drafts with no branch and no Git, worked as a list rather than a column.
A title, a description, a discussion. **Nothing here touches Git.**
## A list, not a column
The backlog grows without bound, which is why it is not on the board. You
reorder it, search it, and pick from it — the things you do to a list. A
column that grew to four hundred cards would stop being a board.
## Starting one is the deliberate act
Moving a card out of here is what **cuts the branch**. That is why it is a
move and not a checkbox: it asks which repositories the card touches, because
that answer decides what gets created and where it is cut from.
Until then a card is a draft, and deleting one costs nothing.
Write the title and press Enter. Everything else can be filled in later —
the point of a backlog is that an idea can be captured in the four seconds
somebody has for it.
