Projects and Next Actions for Projects

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

Input?

Name projects and underline project name

Hi,

I had this concern too. My solution was this: every project has a name, and a goal, in the project list. I underline the names, so I get

garage: dump all stuff
webpage: find a host and setup a blog

That's one single list, while on the NA lists I have (grouped by context) a project name (underlined again) and a suitable NA:

@home:
garage: grab a piece of stuff

@computer:
webpage: fire up google

All this is lofi, in a spiral notebook and a Moleskine.

Cheers!

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. »
