A 'Next actions' question -GTD newbie question
akapulko2020 | May 8 2006
Hi all , Let's say that I have a project which is to mail some books to a friend of mine .So first I need to get her adress :this contains of an action of emailing her ,then waiting for her reply. What I can't figure out ,is whether I should have all those listed as next actions in their separate contexts ,for the same project ,at the same time -ort should I enter the first action,then complete it ,and only then add the next action to it's context? I mean ,in most cases there are numerous and dependent actions in a project ,which belong to different contexts,right? I'm using the "nextaction" tracking tool for managing my next actions,and there's no way of defining dependency there -but the mail question is ,how is this supposed to work,the real-GTD way? Thanks :) 24 Comments

That's how I have my kGTD laid out. Sometimes my NAs for a project are actually mini projects, with two NAs under them. kGTD lists all your NAs for a project, but only colors purple the first one in your list. If you know that you need to do a particular NA before all the others, you just move it to the top of the list of NAs for that project. I often just work from the project page because I know which projects are current and I scan them to see what NAs fit the context I am in; I find looking at the context list a little confusing. I will have to see if I can sort my projects (and thus my contexts) by priority, or active/inactive. » POSTED IN:
