If that doesn't help I have a trick that makes it all :)

Let's say it's 10am. You are at work and it's your scheduled work time for making calls (@Call context). You open your @Call action list. You know there's nothing super important there, just plain work you used to have.

You take the first next action and read through. 'Call Mr. Business Partner: discuss hiring of mr. Superior Sales Manager'. You tell to yourself: 'Hmm. He's too busy to bother him with such a stupid thing. He would bark at me. I'd better think myself'. And so you want to skip that next action. And here's the trick goes.

That's oK. Allow yourself to skip it and delete from your list!

But write down to your inbox the reason you skipped it. Now work on the reason, don't defer it to your processing time! Why didn't you do it? You thought you partener was busy. You thought he would bark at you. You decided to skip the action because you thought he was busy? Isn't it silly not to act because you just thought something would happen? Are you a futurologist who knows and predicts the future?!

Usually I prefer to do a next action right there because afraid to (1) delete it and (2) because the reason for not doing is just my imagination of the future. Nobody knows the future!

Try it and let me know. Must help!
