It creates a more vivid image in your mind about what you should be doing and thats half the battle. I agree with you about creating clear next actions.

If you force yourself to start with a verb, it becomes an actionable list. In my weekly review packet, I have a page with two lists of verbs (my wife gave it to me. I don't know where she got it.). One list is verbs that indicate something is a project. The other list is verbs that indicate something is a single action. Thanks for the great post.

However, it is helpful having this "action methodology" spelled out, particularly when looking at tasks that have been languishing for a while, where I need to ask "what is the next action that will move this project towards completion?".
