What's the Next Action?

You have goals you want to achieve. You break them into smaller tasks, and write them down in your to-do list. And they sat there … waiting to be acted upon … waiting to be checked …

I believe a task well stated is a task half-completed. If you'd just spend a few minutes to describe what the next action is, you'd have moved past the thinking stage to the doing stage.

Yet most people don’t give their to-do list the care and attention it deserves. If you take a peek at their list, you’ll see some to-dos with only one or two words — barely adequate to describe what needs to be done. Sometimes you’ll see to-dos that actually consist of many tasks combined, and you know it will take days just to work on that single to-do!

With an ambiguous and messy to-do list, it's easy to fall into procrastination instead of taking action. Don't let that happen to you.

As a productivity geek with more than a decade of experience in using to-do lists of all kinds, I’m pleased to introduce What’s the Next Action? — a 16-page guide with 10 practical rules for writing an effective to-do list that is clear, concise and consistent.

With before and after examples to illustrate each rule, you’ll learn how to:

- Write to-dos such that what needs to be done is clear at a glance.

- Write to-dos that are as short as possible while still maintaining clarity.

- Maintain a neat and tidy visual treatment of words in your overall to-do list.

It doesn’t matter whether you are using a simple list or a full-fledged task management app — the rules are timeless fundamentals. It’s designed to help you achieve a coherent look and feel across your entire to-do list, and inspire you to take action.
