Hello,
I started GTD a few months ago using NirvanaHQ and I love it.
But something I don't quite understand.
When starting a project, when do you create all actions?
Option 1: whenever you want. But....in Nirvana, when you do not make at least one action, the project doesn't appear on your next action list. So then I would have to always check not only the next action list but also the project list for not overlooking anything.
Option 2: at least 1 next action when making a new project. That way you don't have to check the project list all the time. But then you have to remember each time you finish a task, to immediately create the next action. It would resolve itself on my once a week maintenance hour, but then you would slow down your project only because there aren't yet any tasks.
Option 3: when you start/type a new project, you immediately determine all actions necessary to finish the project. But that's not always a simple task. I am very strict (or at least I try to be) in only creating very doable tasks. So chopping up a project in only easy one step doable tasks that work for me, takes time.
So, how do you guys do that?
