Hello,
Sometimes, I have a task like say writing a long document which just takes too long, so I have to break it down to multiple sessions. There is nothing different between the sessions, I just have to sit at a computer and continue typing.
Putting these kinds of tasks into next actions is not working for me and makes the next action lists stale. If on the other hand, I turn these tasks into projects, they become too much data entry (not worth it). It's just something to repeat for a few sessions until completed.
So where to place this? The tickler forces you to wait to next day so it doesn't work; the checklist is for building habits, not for tasks with a specific ending outcome. If I make it into a project, then it's just going to have a bunch of next actions all phrased exactly the same (continue writing the X document) and it forces me to mark the next action done, and create a new one immediately for the next identical session.
Appreciate any help, I've been stuck with this specific point for a while
