This was something I was uncomfortable with when I started GTD, but you don’t need to keep track of which NAs go with which projects. You only need to sort your NAs by context, i.e. NAs for the Internet, for the Office, etc.

It feels a bit strange at first, but you’ll find out that it’s a better system after a little practice.

Grey,

Thanks for the help. But I’m still confused. Should I make Specific, multiple project lists, but create General NA’s for them? Thanks!

You should have one list that lists all of your projects, i.e ‘Shed cleaned out’ or ‘computer software installed’. Then you put the next actions for those things on the context lists. So ‘throw out garbage in shed’ goes on the ‘home’ list and ‘download software’ goes on the ‘computer’ list.
