Projects and Next Actions for Projects

Matthew Fauris | May 6 2008

Can anyone explain how they relate Next Actions per project? It's a little confusing in the book.

Input?

You should have one list that lists all of your projects, i.e 'Shed cleaned out' or 'computer software installed'. Then you put the next actions for those things on the context lists. So 'throw out garbage in shed' goes on the 'home' list and 'download software' goes on the 'computer' list.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
