Let's talk.
What would you like to see happen in this conversation?
I want a solution to the problem that when you come up with improvements to a project that has been in development for a while, you can't decide what to do next, so the project is left unprogressed, and it accumulates and becomes uncollectible.
What type of action is that action?
Actions to improve the project
Is there anything else about that action?
Hmmm... If we don't do it, we won't move forward.
Actions to improve the project
How will you know about this action?
Yes, that's right. Let's see, when I come up with an idea to improve a project, that idea hasn't been chewed down to Specific Actions yet. So I put it on my TODO list, but it doesn't get executed. You need to do "Chewing Tasks" first to chew up the idea and get actionable actions.
Where is the action located?
(I'd like to ask "what is the meaning of that bite" here, but there is a problem that verbs are hard to be extracted as keywords, I found another new area for improvement.)
Action appears after the bite, not yet
Where is the action?
not (verb-negating suffix; may indicate question or invitation with rising intonation)
Yes, that's right. Let's see, when I come up with an idea to improve a project, that idea hasn't been chewed down to a concrete action yet. So you put it on your TODO list, but it doesn't get executed. You need to do the "chew task" first to chew up the idea and get actionable actions.
What type of project is this?
Spontaneous projects] where what needs to be done is not given to you from the outside. It is also up to you to decide how to improve.
Is there anything else you can tell us about that project?
Spontaneous projects stop spinning when Cycle Friction gets too large
Where is the project located?
If it's between multiple people, the activity of others may trigger it, but if it's a one-person project, if that one person stops working, that alone will bring the project to a halt. This is especially serious for projects that are only in one person's hands.
How do you know about the project?
The state of knowing, or rather, coming up with and doing.
Maybe most specific if it's "know the what's of the project." The purpose of the project, the value of doing the project, how the project will develop...
What is it that you value?
Hmmm, so you're in a situation where you feel the current project has so-so value, and you think the improvements you've come up with will make it even more valuable, but for some reason, that improvement activity isn't being done.
What is the relationship between the project and the action?
Actions make the project better.
Is the action the same as the project? Is it different?
A series of actions will shape the project.
Where is the project located?
At first it's only in one person, in the future it's better to have it between several people.
A series of actions will shape the project.
Where is this project coming from?
A project is created when one person first comes up with an idea, then "bites the bullet" with the motivation to check the idea, creates an action, and then implements the action.
What happens to the project when that action is taken?
be raised (e.g. child)
What happens to the action when the project?
When the objectives of a project are clearly articulated, it is easier to choose the right action to take from a variety of possible actions.
What is the connection between the action and the project?
There is not a one-way arrow from the action to the project, but a two-way arrow that interacts
What does that project look like?
Hmmm, I don't know. the North Star I guess.
What is the relationship between that North Star and the project?
The North Star helps determine the direction in which to proceed. When the objectives of a project are clearly articulated, it becomes easier to determine the direction in which to proceed.
What is the relationship between the project and its objectives?
Summary so far
Clarity of project objectives will promote project growth.
The goal is to help you choose an action
A project is less likely to stop if it is placed between several people.
Improvement ideas are not actions, we need to create actions by biting the bullet and doing the task first.
Is the project the same as the objective? Is it different?
The objective is the North Star, and the project is the marching process that's going on.
What happens to the objectives when that project is done?
Sometimes our objectives change while we're working on a project.
What happens to the project at the time of its objective?
Some of the things we have been doing will no longer be necessary, and conversely, various things we have not been doing will become necessary.
What is the connection between the project and its objectives?
This is also a two-way arrow
Is the project the same as the North Star? Are they different?
Wrong.
What happens to the North Star during the project?
bye-bye
