Joe Wood keeps a 'vague' list of tasks that are equally important as other more tangible tasks but lack clarity about what steps to take. He added this within his GTD implementation. Interesting, as I notice I tend to put off important things when I don't have a clear path to execution yet (and the next action would be to think about those steps). I also think such vague actions may actually not be actions but projects lacking definition. It makes beginning harder, and keeping a vague list might help address it. I think I might use it as a tag in tasks, not as a separate list.

"The Personal Science Wiki hosts knowledge about "personal science", where individuals use empirical methods to ask and answer questions about their own lives. Personal science practices overlap with various related communities (e.g. Quantified Self and patient-led research) and individual goals are divers" Has a dozen registered users. No mention of [[Action Research is vraag-reflectief leven 20031215142900]] although they do say 'questions about their own lives', but seemingly meant in a much narrower meaning, not the person in their living environment with others. Came across it as mentioned case in dissertation https://hal.science/tel-04579553/ where it is an example to do similar for citizenscience

I suspect within the living community in question. The scientific model of being an outside observer falls flat in a complex environment, as any self-styled observer is part of it, and can only succeed by realising that. Brings me to action research too. If they're hard to find from outside such a living community that's probably because they don't partake in the academic status games that run separate from those living communities. How would you recognise one if you aren't at least yourself a boundary spanner to the living community they are part of?
