'Next Actions' vs 'Current Actions'

[RobertAndrews]

These terms seem to be used almost interchangeably.
And yet, the words literally mean something very different.
What's going on?

Thanks.

From my GTD perspective, I see "Current Actions" as something that I haven't processed into my external trusted system yet, and therefore would be considered as "2 minute actions".

If I know I can delay an item, then it gets processed into my system and becomes a "Next Action" within a context (eg @computer) or possibly on my calendar (day or day/time). Then, based on time, energy and that context, I'll come back to that action.

My objective, and goal in life, is to continually ask, "What's next?"

English language changing meaning as we use it? Seriously though I see next action as the individual next action for a project while current actiosn are all the next actions I have as a collection.
