A 'Next actions' question -GTD newbie question
akapulko2020 | May 8 2006
Hi all , Let's say that I have a project which is to mail some books to a friend of mine .So first I need to get her adress :this contains of an action of emailing her ,then waiting for her reply. What I can't figure out ,is whether I should have all those listed as next actions in their separate contexts ,for the same project ,at the same time -ort should I enter the first action,then complete it ,and only then add the next action to it's context? I mean ,in most cases there are numerous and dependent actions in a project ,which belong to different contexts,right? I'm using the "nextaction" tracking tool for managing my next actions,and there's no way of defining dependency there -but the mail question is ,how is this supposed to work,the real-GTD way? Thanks :) 24 Comments

Your suggestion seems logical enough...Submitted by akapulko2020 on May 10, 2006 - 2:29am.
Your suggestion seems logical enough -I've also just realized that I was trying to adapt to the way my software works and "bend" the GTD for it ..which doesnt sound the smartest way to go ... Berko wrote: Also keep in mind that your list of actions are only options for specific contexts. When you look at your list of @Errands for instance and you see drop off books at PO, you simply say, "Nope, not today. I still have to get $friend . "'s" address and box them up." and choose something else from the list that you can do. » POSTED IN:
