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

Those lists make a lot of sense to me, but I have one question: is it OK to have more than one next action listed at a time in your NA lists? (as the @WORK example implies.) Of course! I do! This lets me pick and choose. I'm at my desk @office, I surf my list and see several items. I pick one that appeals to me (or one that I know I'm going to loathe just to kick-start the rest) and do it. I usually have 2-3 NA's per project on my context cards. » POSTED IN:
