How Granular is a Next Action?
Richard Anderson | Feb 12 2007
One thing I'm still trying to wrap my brain around viz-a-viz GTD is how granular a next action is, in terms of a project. Say, for example, I have a paper to write for an English class (which I do). I figure my NAs are: 1. Skim book for passage to analyze It's 5, 6, and 7 that have me curious as to whether those are really NAs, or if they can be made more granular and subdivided. There's subtasks to the actual writing, I suppose, but do I really need "Write thesis," "Write supporting argument 1," etc.? 9 Comments

Writing is the worst for...Submitted by tehanu on March 9, 2007 - 1:27pm.
Writing is the worst for me with regard to procrastination. One thing I do sometimes is put "spend 15 minutes working on writing project" on my list. Usually if I just commit to 15 minutes I'll get going and get a lot accomplished. But it's less scary that way. » POSTED IN:
