How to Structure Your Next Action Lists

There is no right way to structure your next actions lists, only what works best for you. I have seen people effectively use categories such as brain gone for simple actions requiring no mental horse power and less than five minutes for getting quick winds. Before i go on a long trip, i will create before trip as a temporary category into which i will move everything from any of my action lists that must be handled before i leave. That becomes the only list i need to review until they are all done. It was much more relaxing and productive to manage my focus by sorting those on to a different creative writing action list.
