Where do you store potential future actions?
Steven Ho | Nov 2 2007
A lot of times, when defining the next action for a project, I think of other things that I MUST do sometime later in the project, but I can't do it yet, for whatever reason. Let's call these "potential future next actions". How do you guys manage these potential future actions within a project (note: these actions are not someday maybe projects) WITHOUT creating a Gaant chart like system? 2 Comments

 Actions vs. Next ActionsSubmitted by augmentedfourth on November 2, 2007 - 9:45am.
At one time, I had the same quandary. However, I realized that the easy way to overcome this was to create Next Actions a subset of the total list of Actions. You list all of the Actions that you need to do, but only put the ones you can do now (i.s. the ones that aren't dependent on ay other action) on the Next Actions list you carry at all times. Thankfully, my system (simpleGTD) has this all wrapped up: you can create as many actions as you like for your projects, and only the "starred" ones end up in your printable Next Actions list. » POSTED IN:
