Next Action Verbs Checklist

[Hussein]

If every member in the forum shared his list of next action verbs we can build a large check list of Next Action verbs and we can group it for ease of use. For example, 1.Group COMMUNICATE : call, text, meet, mail, ... 2.Group, COMPUTER WORK: print, upload, develop ..... etc. This way we can build a categorized list of next action verbs that will make creating next action easier then execution will be easier.wait your contribution

Hmmm I wonder if it might be more useful to have a list of red-flag verbs -- ones that sort of look like a proper Next Action from a distance, but often have a bad smell to them.

Think About
Figure Out
Decide
Find Out

@Josh Mitchell Great list but isn't the "design" verb too complex for Next Actions? For me designing is a multistep process so I rather use "design" in a Project naming context. For example "CK landing page designed".
