Hello,
in the book the author speaks about identifying the 'one next action'. As I understand it, it suggests to do the next action, then to think again about the next one, and so on.
In my daily life I usually tend to break vague tasks to clear definite steps, in order of execution. For example, "Pay bill" is broken into 'Fetch bill', 'Pay bill', 'Archive it' etc.
This conflicts with the 'one next action' approach (correct me if I'm wrong). The disadvantage of reading a list of four or more actionable items is that I feel always late, and my attention is divided and instead of feeling my mind 'like water', it feels more like mud.
To counter this I tried to use apps where I see only one task at a time, and of course it helps a lot.
The question is: what is the GTD approach to doing only one thing at a time? And if present, where can I find references in the GTD books?
Thank you very much
