projects & next actions
direwolf | Apr 25 2006
Good morning - confused again :) When I've identified a project, should *all* actions for that project be captured on a separate 'project' card [in the order that they need doing] as well as listing the main project on a master list/index. What about the next action for any particular project - if the above is true, then does that get transferred over to a NA list, presumably with a note about what it relates to ? Then the individual project card gets reviewed/updated in the weekly review ? I'm getting there but this bit about managing projects with respect to next actions & where/when to put NAs relating to projects is twisting my mind somewhat. Thanks. 6 Comments

Its also worth remembering that projects should generate next actions in the same way as any other 'stuff' in your in trays. So if, at review time, you are thinking about a particular project and you realise that the next action is to phone somebody, you may decide that it will take less than two minutes and do it on the spot. Or you may decide that it can wait and defer it by putting a note in your tickler file, or by adding a reminder to your calendar for next week. Otherwise, if there is no deadline involved, it may end up on your @Calls context as a next action. » POSTED IN:
