Getting Things Done

ADVICE

Clarifying Vague Next Actions

  • For less definable next actions like "look into" or "think about," determine the specific, physical activity involved.
  • If it requires multiple steps, treat it as a project and define the next action.
  • If it's about gathering information, identify the steps like browsing a website or asking someone.
  • If it's about thinking, determine the visible activity you would do while thinking, such as brainstorming or drafting.
  • If time is needed, incubate it with a reminder for a future date when you expect to have more clarity.
