Interesting article about using second person.
http://www.physorg.com/news154187698.html

When entering actions in OmniFocus, I'll try to put the action in a completed state. Instead of:
Repair broken water pipe
I'll type:
Water pipe is repaired.

I may start trying to use second person.
You have repaired broken water pipe.

Interesting how that changes the sentence structure back to verb before noun.

Repair broken water pipe. (verb noun)
Water pipe is repaired. (noun verb)
You have repaired broken water pipe. (noun verb noun)

Using the second person includes me in the action. And the simple act of me reading and thinking about that action allows my mind to visualizing the action being completed.
