Yes, I always use verbs otherwise I have to subconsciously think what am I doing with this noun every time I look at my next action list. Way more extra thinking than necessary. Great tip!
The [object] [past-tense verb] format pretty much guarantees you have defined an outcome, and lets your brain decide very fast if it's done or not when scanning a long list of projects during a weekly review. That said, it can feel a little artificial and stilted, so do what works for you. I use a mix

Robert, for naming projects, is it best to use "Purchase gift for mom" or "Gift purchased"
Thanks!! Love your wisdom and experience

p.s. to say in your example having " for mom" seems like a pretty important bit to include in either version
If you said "Hey Mum," I would stop talking... because mum means to stop talking. MOM on the other hand...
They wear you down, the British, until it's all "colour", "theatre", and "aluminium"
