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

Doubt this will help you, but for what it's worth, Pocket Informant on the Pocket PC allows you to drag and drop tasks into a hierarchy (though I'm not sure if that information persists when you sync with Outlook): The hierarchy does not sync to Outlook (because Outlook doesn't do hierarchy). You can back it up separately, so it's restorable after a device failure, but you can't use the data on the desktop. » POSTED IN:
