Action

Something to do for an effort, project, area, or interest.

Scope note

• Narrower than an Effort, and alongside Area, Interest, or Project.
• May represent a single Action as a Task with many steps and more content than would simply be included in a bullet list.
• More complex actions might be action groups that have one or more nested groups of actions.
• Sequential actions can be represented as a simple bullet list with a checkbox.
• Parallel actions can use a numbered list to identify the sequence (1., 2., etc.).
