Action Item

In management, an action item is a documented event, task, activity, or action that needs to take place. Action items are discrete units that can be handled by a single person.

Action items are usually created during a discussion by a group of people who are meeting about one or more topics and during the discussion it is discovered that some kind of action is needed. The act required is then documented as an action item and usually assigned to someone, usually a member of the group. The person to whom the action is assigned is then obligated to perform the action and report back to the group on the results.

Action items are usually documented in the meeting minutes and are recorded in the task list of the group. As people complete action items, the items are documented as being completed and the item is removed from the list of outstanding action items.

A usual format for an action item is to record an action item number, the date when the action item is identified or created, the name of the person to whom the action is assigned, a title description of the action, and a more detailed description of the action and its outcomes.

A Way With Words

I find it hard to speak sometimes, my words are broken lines.
Your heart is patient and so is mine.
That's not enough to make it through the winter oh no.
I wish I had a way with words.
The words i've built up, i written page after page.
I can't get enough, so stay won't you stay with me.
My heart and my head don't always agree.
My head will say to walk away, but my heart just won't leave.
That's not enough to make it through the winter oh no.
I wish I had a way with words.
The words I've built up, I've written page after page.
I can't get enough, so stay won't you stay.
My heart won't let me, I can't decide, I can't decide.
It tries to protect me, I can't decide, I can't decide.
And you can't trust my heart, cause it will always let you down.
Get over these feelings, or get out of this town.
So I guess I'm left, to clean up the mess when you're gone. When you're gone.
The words I've built up, I've written page after page, I can't get enough, so say won't you stay won't you stay. The world I've built up, I've written page after page, I can't get enough, so stay won't you stay.
