Hello all,
I've been a "fringe GTD" user for a few years now, and I recently re-started my efforts. I've come into the situation where I normally fall apart, so I thought I'd ask for some tips and advice.
I find myself with a list of projects that I intend to work on, but after setting the next action there is always something else that takes priority. I end up with a long list of projects, each with next actions defined, but I'm unable to move them forward. My project list becomes unwieldy and somewhat overwhelming and I end up just making a list of whatever's on fire at the moment.
So I'm curious how you all handle this sort of thing. Do you move projects to a "someday/maybe" list once they aren't making any headway for a given amount of time because they are obviously not important enough for me to take action on them? Do you prioritize your project list using A-B-C method and work top-down?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
