    Looking for task manager that can automatically display only non-dependent tasks (next actions)

    I cannot find an online or Windows app task manager that provides the functionality I want to use to simultaneously track next actions across all projects. Looking for help. First, let me lay out the concept. My understanding of a next action is a task that can be performed without waiting...

    Where do the physical next actions lists go?

    When keeping a paper based GTD, where do the physical lists go? After reading Getting Things Done and Making it All Work, I don't recall anything mentioning where exactly the physical lists should go. The GTD Organizer puts all the lists together but this doesn't seem practical because for...

    How to (quickly and efficiently) see if a project has a next action?

    I have read all kinds of threads here and elsewhere about whether or not it makes sense to "link" next actions in your GTD tool. Apparently I am not the first to have consternation over this. The consensus seems to be that you should not "link" next actions to a project directly. Instead, GTD...

    When do you work through Next Actions list?

    I have a pretty good grasp on my GTD system. I would say I'm a red belt in capturing, keeping my inboxes empty on a regular basis, weekly review, clarifying next actions, organizing/managing my lists, and most of the other basic priniciples of GTD. My issue is I do not have a good system for...

    Projects and next actions

    When you create a project, do you have the next actions for that project in the same notebook or page with that project, or does it go on a separate next actions list? If it does go on a separate list, do all next actions for each of your projects, let's just say you have 10 projects you're...

    Task switiching (not necessarily context)

    As we know the core of GTD are next actions. These are the nearest, physical actions that can be done asap considering context, time, energy i priority. Concerning granularity lots of people recommend "size" which allows done task in one sitting. This seems to be reasonable because there are...

    What to do when my Next Action is "Brainstorm"?

    Hi All Fringe GTDer trying to get more on top of my work life, and recently have spent a lot of time Collecting and Processing into Outlook Tasks (only tool my company will allow me to use, but I've got it to work). I've done a Guided Weekly review just now and my issue is a lot of my Next...

    Have I Been Completely Misunderstanding the Next Actions List?

    Should the next actions list only contain the very next action for all my active projects? Another way to phrase this is: If I have 50 active projects, and have generated 200 total actions for those projects while clarifying, should my next actions list not contain 200 actions, but rather only...

    Next Actions and Projects - with Evernote

    Once a Next Action has been determined as a part of a Project, do you dissect the Project and come up with Multiple Next Actions, and return (organize) them to the Next Action Notebooks? or leave them in the Project's Notebook
