I think this is a common question but I thought I'd put it out there again for comments.
Is it a "sin" to have multiple Next Actions for projects? I'm using Outlook and the GTD add-in and when I look at my task list in the Project view I can get a glimpse of all the NAs associated with each project. For some projects I have more than one NA.
I was thinking though... if I were to strictly follow what David Allen suggests, shouldn't each project have just one NA? But what happens if there are any number of things you can do for a project at any one time that don't depend on one another. I'm thinking of these things that I want to do -- how do I put a "string on my finger" so to speak to remind me of them?
Also, in terms of sequential tasks - i.e. I can't do action B until I complete action A -- I've been putting a reminder for the next task(s) at the top of the action A task message. Are there other preferred ways of keeping reminders of subsequent tasks in outlook?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
