Our deepest thanks to the many GTD enthusiasts who have posted in and read this forum over the years. Because use has been steadily declining in recent years, we have reluctantly decided to make this forum a read-only reference archive. There is an active GTD discussion community on the new GTD Connect.

GTD is focused heavily on Contexts, besides Projects.
I'm not sure how you can associate tasks both to a context and a project using .txt files.
Anyway, if projects are part of a bigger project I would add these to a single file, or if in separate files I would name them so they stick together in the file explorer.

My latest incarnation of my system...
I keep a file for the list of projects -- one file for business projects and one for personal projects.
I also keep a file for each context which contains my next actions for that contexts.

I've also been toying with the idea of creating a single file for each project that holds the project name, description, notes, waiting fors, agendas, and next actions. If I format the file correctly, then it should be simple to write a program that can extract all the next actions into context lists. But too much going on right now to mess with it.
For now, the list-based approach is simple, and it mostly works.

thanks for all the responses ! I have found it helpful just to keep a txt file of current projects , one list for business, one for personal . Just glancing at everything at once will often lead me to add another task to my system .
it's nothing like my weekly review but just a quick " horizon scan " every day ..it really makes my brain settle down : )
