I write only the next actions for routine projects where I know what to do and in what order.

I use more detail projects that are new or out of the ordinary. I find going into some detail helps me to identify what is the most effective next action, which, as often as not, is something different from what I thought it would be when I started detailing the project.

I also use more detail on projects that I am dragging my feet on for some reason. Those I break down into smaller and smaller actions until I find a pill I can swallow.
