The next action for every project is important as it gives you direction on which ay to go and always keeps you looking for the next step. For myself, I personally resonate with this idea as I am a planner. I like to think about what needs to be done and how do I personally get to this point. Although when you plan for something almost always the project doesn’t go the exact way that you thought the project was going to go. This event can become overwhelming, which can lead to procrastination as stated in Getting Things Done.
I can resonate to the procrastination when times get tough as it is the easier to just push the project off then going after the project right away. For example when I heard that Roberts was going remote, I originally began to be excited about the idea of getting ahead on my school work, but after I got home and was unable to retrieve my files from the school computer, I immediately regretted not uploading everything online. These problems made me second guess myself and pushed me towards procrastination. As I thought more of the situation, I knew that I would need to push myself to getting my assignments done because if I didn’t know, then I would check out and not get my school work done.
One step that I use that was also mention in the book was defining the next action when working with others. I am currently working with a group of classmates on a project for strategic management. With defining the next action, it forces accountability and makes it easier to plan out the next task that needs to be accomplish. With the projects that I have to accomplish in that class the need of all my team members to work together is essential for the success of the team as a whole.
