A good point, very relevant to my own situation. Can you say a little more about the form of the "bookmark"?
It's not so much a form as a discipline. When I find myself "petering out" after a burst of work on an incomplete project, I want to take the few minutes to record exactly what needs to happen in order to complete it (which is often more than one NA, although not always), while this knowledge is still in my head and hasn't fallen out!

When I do this, I find I can easily restart the project at a later time. If I have not -- say I notice the project at weekly review time, it has no next actions and yet still isn't complete -- I have to recapitulate a fair bit of thinking.

Is that what you were after?
