Hello
I have been finding a psychological problem with using one "Next Action" for each project.
Part of the problem is that as a core principle, it seems that the more times I look at something and fail to execute it, the harder that task gets. i.e. The more I put something off the higher its 'resistance' becomes.
So what I find is that if I don't manage to execute that any given next action within a few days, it suddenly becomes stupidly hard to execute. And if I only have ONE next action for each project, then the whole project becomes blocked because of stupidly 'high resistance' next actions.
In fact over time, it's all too easy to end up with lots of important projects being blocked in this way.
Anyone else have this problem?
If so, how do you work around it?
