Don't totally understand NAs
mream | Mar 14 2006
I'm new to GTD. Just read the book over the weekend, and spent today collecting and beginning to process. There is still something I don't understand about next actions. Let's say I have a list of 50 projects, and I go through each one and decide what the next physical action is... am I going to end up with a list of 50 actions, work through those, then generate 50 more? Would I be kind of spinning my wheels as I rotate through all 50 projects, rather than focusing on one, and doing more actions on that one? Or am I missing something? When I list NAs, should I list all the NAs I can do on a specific project? Thanks for the help, Matt 16 Comments

Ideally, at least the way I see it, you should generate NA's only for the projects that need to be carried forward this week. If you have a project listed like "Winterize House", you would probably be safe waiting until October to generate an NA, while a project that has to be completed in 2 weeks needs NA's generated right now. Thanks. So do you generate all the possible NAs for a particular project? Or do you put one NA per project on your list for that week? Matt » POSTED IN:
