What is a Next Action?

Is it something you can do now? Something unblocked?

Or is it something you intend to do. Like, I'm doing this, this week.

If a next action is something you have intention behind, does that mean everything else automatically becomes a Someday/Maybe action? Everything starts as Someday, and once you have put intention into it (for the upcoming week, for example), it becomes a Next Action?

Then each day you look at your restrained list of action you have the intention of doing, and choose your Today tasks?

Seems manageable. Intentioned. Calm.

Will requiring a change of mindset—that everything starts as a Someday task. Or at least, you only put tasks you intend to do in the next week onto your Next list.
