A task too large to begin
A report is due in three days, and its outline is already agreed. The task on your list is 'Finish the report'. You open the document, but have not named the next piece of work, and switch to email.
Which move gives the unfinished work a clear next action?

Fictional example. Use the structure with your own observations and limits.
- What result are you trying to reach?
- Draft one paragraph about a synthetic survey, with the response count and one important limit.
- What is the first action you can do now?
- Open survey-practice.csv and count complete responses, keeping missing answers separate.
- What will probably interrupt you?
- Routine chat may interrupt the count. If duties allow, set a short focus status and keep an urgent-contact channel available.
- What will you record before switching away?
- Saved summary.txt: total rows checked; missing-answer count still unresolved; next compare blanks with the source rows.
- What is your re-entry move?
- Open the saved note, check that the source is unchanged and finish the missing-answer check. If the data changed, rebuild that check before drafting.

- The finish line is a small observable output.
- The next action is executable now, or the missing decision has its own next check.
- The interruption boundary fits actual duties and leaves an urgent-contact path.
- The checkpoint preserves location, state and next action, which you revalidate on return.
