So basically I should write down the action that helps me pick up the trail of actions; My lab work consist of many sequential tasks, some which can be done in parallel... although really most of the stuff I need to do when I stop working is pretty obvious and the task at hand can be easily identified by just looking at my work in progress - most of the time.

Gotta check this out in the future.

Rather than try to plan all the next actions for your lab work in advance, you only need to write the very next action that needs to be done if you stop working on it and start doing something else.

Same thing with the 2 minute or less items when processing your inbox - if the two minutes is up before you finish, write down the next action that needs to be done and move on.

I know it's easier said than done...
