How to tell next action is there during Review process

Using paper format - How can you tell there is a next action for every item on Project List during the Review without having to read every next action to see if there is one there?
 
You could mark every NA with a dot or any other marking, once you identified it as the NA for a project. That way you don't have to re-read all the NAs all the time, just skipp the marked NAs.
 
Lean on your intuition. When I used a paper planner if I wasn’t sure an action was in my system during Reviews I’d capture it and add it to my next actions list later. Occasionally I’d get a duplicate but not often. I wouldn’t spend extra time searching for the action in question. Just capture it and move on. Test to see if that eases stress.
