Hi all I am new to this forum and to the GTD system. I have a question about how to use the next actions list and planning for a project.
If I plan out a project lets say and end up with 15 actions to do to complete it. Do these go on the next action list? or do they stay on a plan somewhere, with one action on the list and then when that is done put then next action from the plan on the list. Obviously with a plan of actions there will always be other actions that have not been forseen in the original plan. Basically do the actions from a plan go onto the next actions list and so the plan is then in the next actions list?
Also how many actions do you break an action down to. Is making a phone call one action or is it one for picking up, phone, two for dialing number....
Many thanks
