Hello all!
David Allen gives an excellent stratification on 6 levels of actions: where on the lowest level "single actions" are made, and on the top level your life is flowing. The more I think about this scheme, the more I see that there are no "simple actions" - which are not bound to some project, and that project in its turn has its place in larger plans and perspectives.
So my question is to people who use GTD for a long time already: how many percents take "actions within projects" and how many - "simple actions"? What are these "simple actions" - of what sort?
Well, on first steps it is not very good to think about placing actions into proper projects. But it is very useful when you try to integrate your life, to find some meaning of your life as a whole.
Oh, and I also found an answer on my previous question: about regular actions. They lie into projects perfectly: when you need to do something regularly, you very possibly act under some plan, so then it is handy to put one note about regular actions into a project, and also, after finishing next regular action, write into the calendar a note about the same action after some days. (Don't blame me severely if I invented a bicycle.)
