Hi all, I've now read most of the book and am looking forward to taking my two days to gather, process and organise all my projects. However, there is one key principle I don't understand.
I understand that you want to keep a project list with all the things that you are working on/in your mind so that it's out of your head. For each of these projects you need the purpose of that project plus all the next steps to complete that, +/- brainstorms, support materials etc depending on it's complexity. So for that project you have a next steps list that may be 2 steps or 20. I don't understand whether you're supposed to keep all these next steps list in that project or transpose all the next steps to your master next steps document.
For example, in my work I always tend to have 5-10 projects on the go. Some will be very complex with 30-40 steps and some will have 2-3. Do I collate all the next steps on one document or just take the first next step and put all those on one document. If you're transposing only one, the next step, this would seem to waste a lot of time going back and forth from your projects to your next steps list.
Thanks for any feedback/advice offered.
