a quick procedural question

Hi, So I've read GTD twice, listened to "Ready for Anything" and have been following 43 folders off and on for a while... I've started my own GTD system... opting for a note-book in my pocket at all times, taking it back to my laptop at home where i have a system built with smart-folders on my copy of Journler. I have been going throw the work-flow chart and doing a regular review. I have noticed a problem that i could use help with... when I'm out doing stuff, I have my lists of next actions organized by context, ready for whatever situation arises. But, once I cross off a "next action," i'm sometimes confused about what the new "next action" for that project is. It doesn't seem productive to be constantly going back to my project lists every time I get a next action done. How do i deal with this? any advice is appreciated 4 Comments

 3x5 Card + Post-It Notes SolutionSubmitted by Todd V on January 14, 2008 - 8:59pm.
I read a great idea related to this: You can take a 3x5 card for a project and attach Post-It Notes cascading down the front and back of the card. Each one is the next step on the project to complete. Once you've completed one, you can take off that post-it note and throw it away, revealing the next action you need to do. You can do something similar with a Cahier moleskine notebook with Post-It Notes. A pretty nifty idea that you could probably implement in other ways. » POSTED IN:
