obsolete next actions

Was wondering why my morning wasn't moving -- my next actions were nice and clear, what more could I ask for?

Well, as has been pointed out, work is a dynamic environment, and what were appropriate next actions on Friday are no longer appropriate today.

I just moved three quarters of my next actions to the SomeDay maybe list, replaced them with a couple that were appropriate, and back came the energy and the speed.

I just did my weekly review Friday, so it sure doesn't take long for direction to change. A good reason to keep the next action list as short as possible.

A great reminder!

If I keep a list of Next Actions around for more than a week, they stagnate. The extra week doesn't help to get them done any faster (mostly).

And, having just done the weekly review, I'm sure that made both the new and old next actions fresh in your mind!

Thanks for sharing.
