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

I agree with you guys....Submitted by jasonechols on May 11, 2006 - 1:12pm.
I agree with you guys. What is the point in mindmapping a project, for example, if you only care about the one next action. To me, you have to have the whole picture laid out for this to work. So you may need to list two or three next actions for a project. What if you have 3 next actions for a project which are not dependent on one another. For me, you have to put them down. Get it outta ya head. » POSTED IN:
