Answer 3

You might tackle the next activity, if you mean to go at a difficult task with gusto:

He completed the reports, then tackled the accounts.
We've discussed the vacation—now let's tackle the salaries.

You might also address or focus on the next thing. Or, to more strongly show that you've moved from one task and started another, you could set about discussing the salaries or apply yourself to reconciling the accounts.

Answer 4

How about a simple "We've discussed X and now let's discuss Y"?
