I did GTD for around 3 years with a project list.
I still use next actions with context, a weekly review, prompt lists, different altitudes, inbox to empty each day, and I think DA's system of filing without hanging files has massive benefits.
But, and perhaps it's a big but, for the last year I haven't been using a project list, which is sort of a key part of GTD. It doesn't seem to be an issue. Eventually I decided that keeping a project list was just another part of the system to feed with not enough benefit to make it worthwhile.
I am curious to know if that this has been the experience of anyone else or if I'm the only one. DA once said he thought one of the most important things was to keep the project list up to date, which still worries me from time to time.
