Not Next Actions
Brad Blackman | Mar 20 2006
What do you do with things that don't really need to be done right away? They're definitely not next actions, but they're not quite ARE Someday/Maybes. Or maybe they ARE Someday/Maybes and I don't know it yet. Sometimes I feel like they fall somewhere in between; they're more half-baked ideas of things I'd like to do but don't really have the time, need, or tools or environment to do them. What do you do with such things? Also, does GTD create too much of a tendency to box everything into various categories, a very Western and Aristotelean tendency? 7 Comments

Then I've got a huge Someday/Maybe list with a lot of subcategories! I bet you do! And as someone pointed out, that isn't a bad thing. Chrome, I'll go one step further -- that's a great thing. It means you know what things can wait and what things are really on your immeadiate horizon. It means you can properly delegate and make a decision! These are key GTD principals! Now you can go through your Someday/Maybes and find some things you can actually delegate to others instead of merely back-burnering them. In my case this means either hand-off to my wife, a friend, a family member, a manager, a co-worker, or another department. » POSTED IN:
