Hmm -- they require attention from you, but no action? Maybe you couldOriginally Posted by Moka
put them in "Waiting for", then.
I never really understood the point of "Waiting for". If something requires
my attention, to me that means that there's an action I need to do.
The action could be "check status of ..." or "remind so-and-so about ...",
and could lead to creating another
next action depending on the result. I use my tickle file for these.
Here are some questions you can think about or answer
if you feel like it.
Why do some delegated projects require your attention daily?
Can you ask the people responsible to take on more of the
responsibility themselves? What kind of attention do they need --
that is, what do you actually do? E.g. glance at your email and
conclude that everything's OK, or that something is wrong because
there's no email about such-and-such, etc. Getting specific about
exactly what you need to do is part of GTD.
