I'm new to this GTD and I think I'm missing something.
Lets say I have 3 projects that I can do at my desk, at work.
(call them project A,B, &C)
each has 3 or more steps involved.
Project A is very important and due on Friday,
B is due next Friday,
and C at the end of the month.
I've put the first step of each of the projects as the "Next Action"
I get to my desk on Monday, and look at my "Next Actions", I see A1, B1 and C1.
Knowing A1 is important, I do that first.
An hour later, I look to see what to do next, and my "Next Action" list says B1
Even though A2 is really the next thing I should do.
If I review my projects in a weekly review, than I wont get to A2 until the end of the week.
