Go or No-Go Projects #gtd #getthingsdone #mindlikewater

In the video, the speaker explains reframing vague “look into” tasks as explicit go/no-go or R&D projects to create a clear decision point and defined outcome. Using the example of deciding whether to buy a camera, they show how labeling a task “research R&D: go/no-go — camera” converts nagging, unfinished thoughts into a concrete project with a finish line. This clarity helps distinguish exploratory work from committed projects and prompts follow-through, such as purchasing and installing the camera. Trainers reported the re-labeling was life-changing for participants, reducing mental clutter and increasing completion rates.
