I am processing my email inbox down to zero. I had an email come in this morning at work requiring action. It is not something I can figure out in 2 minutes to put a proper next action. My inclination is to create project for what I know the end result is and to make the next action to carefully read the email and follow corresponding links. For work I am only working with a single next actions list as I usually don't have enough actions that aren't just @computer to justify splitting it up. However, in broader context this seems like it might go on a digital version of a read/review list maybe?
My main question, though, is whether this seems like a good practice to put emails and maybe even other inbox items that require longer thought to determine a true next action on a read/review or general next actions list and create a project for them since they would now definitely be more than 1 action step to complete? My thought is I don't want to get bogged down diving too deep into any one item when processing so if a next action doesn't jump out at me that I can have a placeholder to review it in its own dedicated time.
Wanted to see what others think.
