This article adds to the sociological study of time and temporality in everyday life by building on recent longitudinal developments within conversation analysis. It investigates members' methods to bring about change within their shared (life) world. It examines how, as part of an extended project of action, one agreement made early on is continually re‐evoked, used for accounting purposes, and serves to prepare specific actions. This “item of objectivated knowledge” ties together a series of situations. Thereby, members create shared expectations which serve as resources to solve local action problems and which can be revoked once those problems no longer exist.
