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

Is it OK to have more than one next action listed at a time in your NA lists? Yep. A difficulty is that all actions have two different categories; which project, and which context? You need some way to shake your project plans into context lists. That is, going from Project title to the context lists for @WORK, @HOME, @BOSS. Kinkless GTD does this, I think, or you can use an excel spreadsheet with columns for project, context, and action, and then sort by project or sort by context. How do other people solve this problem? » POSTED IN:
