I think Dale has the right idea about properly naming your Next Actions. Sometimes we try to make a short action name and it takes a while for us to process what it really means.

I often find myself needing to rename a task that has been stuck because the next action was not clearly defined.

Instead of "write progress report", I should have used "write progress report for 2nd quarter sales meeting". Even though I know it is in the project "Present progress report during 2nd quarter sales meeting", my task should be written more clearly.

No task management program will prevent us from creating poorly written tasks. It adds more friction when you are trying to find the parent task.
