This really made me think. Shouldn't you (well, I) be doing a daily mini-review of all NAs and projects? Otherwise, really, if you have a NA completed, how else would you add a new NA for a particular project, so that it is going forward, unless you review your projects list? Of course, if the project is nagging you in some way, because it is urgent, etc, then you'll remember that you need a new NA -- but that is basically the same as keeping it in mind, which is heretic to GTD. The key I try to use is to ensure that I'm choosing the next NA when I complete one. If not, I try to do the daily mini-review. I think the other key to GTD is that yes, you must do the weekly review, but DA also states that you should be reviewing your system often enough that you are confident that you've got everything under control. Now, for some people who might be really good at always righting the next NA after completing one, then that could be just the weekly review. For people who can't for various reasons (time, location, etc), then perhaps a quick daily review of completed NAs and Project status might be beneficial in addition to the larger weekly review.
