Hello everybody, I am a brand new user, just got done reading GTD. I have a couple of questions:
On my projects list, all of these projects have next actions. Should these next actions be written on both the projects list ("under" the project in which it is a next action) and on my "Next Actions" list under the appropriate context, or should the next action just be on the "Next Actions" list?
If it is just on the Next Actions list should I designate by the next action which project it corresponds to? (for instance, if I do not , I may have a block of time come up and be wanting to move a project forward but I will then have to look through my hundred or so next actions to remember what was the next action on this particular project)
Also, usually when I am thinking about a project, quite a few things come up that need to be done regarding a project. Do you make sub-projects (items within projects that will take more than one step) and then have separate next action steps for that subproject on my Next Actions list? Also where do you put all the second, third, fourth, and fifth steps for some project as you think of them? Do you just line them up below the project waiting until the next step actions are done ahead of them so you can transfer the next step over to your Next Actions list?
Sorry for the length, but I want to get this straight before I dive in.
Thanks ahead to everyone that helps me.
