Waiting for? Next Action? Agenda?

I am still a bit confused to differentiate these: a) Rodrigues needs to call Zeni at Frango Natto to follow up on the proposal. Rodrigues is already aware of this, I informed him of this, so this is under @Waiting for b) Rodrigues needs to write a Thank You letter to Jotude. Rodrigues IS NOT aware of this, so this is under @Agendas c) I need to speak with Rodrigues regarding monies we are to receive for a sponsorship. Rodrigues informed me on Friday that he was going to see them, but I have not spoken to him since. WHAT IS THIS CLASSIFIED AS? 7 Comments

Yes, I would say it's a project - any desired outcome that takes 2 or more steps to complete - though I'm not sure that this particular example is a "desired outcome" by my standards. :o Maybe the only thing I would do differently is that I wouldn't phrase the waiting for item as an action. Rather my waiting for items indicate who and what I'm waiting for: e.g., Bob - Monthly Report (5/20). [The date is when I delegated the task.] Phrasing the items on the waiting for list as actions can be confusing. Rather, the waiting for list is there to prompt actions: e.g., I might scan my waiting list and say, "Hmm, I should check in with Bob to see how he's doing on the monthly report." Then I can add the action to one of my context lists. » POSTED IN:
