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

I think, as with many aspects of GTD, the answer here is "whatever works for you". I use a software tool which lets me generate a list of NAs for each project, and moves the next one onto the to-do list each time I check one off. If it's for a project (like winterize the house) that you can't do for 6 months, then it belongs in a tickler file or similar until then, not on the active project list. Hope that helps.
