If people have 50-100+ projects, how do they organize the next actions if there are often 5 or more steps associated with each project (and sometimes dozens)? If you just let your brain do the linking and don't actively organize at all ... isn't it burdensome to look at a list of hundreds of next actions multiple times each day (or how many times do people look)? That's a whole lot to continually try to process, and can distract from doing real work!
I've read some of the debates on this forum about linking actions to projects. In short, my personal experience in this domain is the big lists have been really unwieldy, while the project based lists (i.e., linked) have been good but it's hard to keep things sorted by context.
I apologize for the newbie question, but I just can't quite identify the best way to fix this from reading GTD. The goals of a new process would be to have the next actions easily viewable without lots of clutter.
Thank you!
