Clint: Yes, as long as...

Clint: Yes, as long as you can set whatever program you’re using to not automatically/always show tasks of priority > 2. (Or you can ignore them sucessfully.) Otherwise, at least in my case, I still don’t feel like I got enough done today, because I’ve got that big list of stuff (even though most of it is not Do Today/Now/Priority[12] stuff).

I thought that was one of the big parts of GTD (though I haven’t read the book yet); that way you can look at your empty (or nearly) list of Next Actions and feel accomplished.

Though now that I think about it, once you do a Next Action, aren’t you supposed to generate/retrieve the action [in the project] after it and add that to your Next Action list? Hm… I hope my copy of the book arrives soon.
