projects & next actions

Good morning - confused again :)

When I've identified a project, should *all* actions for that project be captured on a separate 'project' card [in the order that they need doing] as well as listing the main project on a master list/index.

What about the next action for any particular project - if the above is true, then does that get transferred over to a NA list, presumably with a note about what it relates to ? Then the individual project card gets reviewed/updated in the weekly review ?

I'm getting there but this bit about managing projects with respect to next actions & where/when to put NAs relating to projects is twisting my mind somewhat.

Thanks.

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. »
