Part 2b

In what can only be described as serendipitously good timing, Merlin Mann of 43Folders gets to the heart of writing doable, next actions using outcome-based thinking.

Think about the thing that’s most on your mind right now. It’s probably not the thing you think is most on your mind; the stuff that’s really getting our attention likes to run behind the refrigerator whenever we turn the lights on. But, anyway. Got it? Okay.

Merlin walks through a simple example that neatly illustrates the kind of broad items most of us end up capturing and how to recognize that what you’ve really got is an action and a project. While far more articulate about this stuff than I am, Merlin makes the point I was shooting for yesterday.
