... is that it seems really tempting to define next actions in a vague way, such as "work on", "research", "continue with", etc, which doesn't complete the next action thinking process properly.
For example, "work on budget spreadsheet" may not be enough. "re-configure cross-referencing formulae in budget spreadsheet" may actually be the more precise next action that you need to define, to truly have finished the thinking in order to get started.
I wonder if this may have something to do with the fact that @computer next actions require an extra layer of visualisation. When you are out on errands, for example, it's easy to picture yourself walking into a store and looking for lemons. But when you're visualising being @computer, it seems as if you have to then think about not just the fact that you're sat in a room looking at a screen, with a piece of software or a document loaded up, but specifically what are you doing with that document / in that software on the computer? I.e. you have to imagine that extra layer, into the digital environment.
Anyone else finding this?
