Getting Things Done

NOTE

The Balance of Commitment in Task Management

Commitment is crucial in task management, distinguishing between projects and next actions. A project signifies a commitment to complete a specific outcome, while a next action represents the immediate step to progress that project. Items placed in the 'someday maybe' category indicate a lack of commitment to immediate action and serve as reminders for future reassessment. The 'someday maybe' lists and tickler files help organize potential actions that one may consider in later reviews. Regular reviews, whether weekly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, are essential for evaluating these incubated tasks and determining future commitments.
