Thanks very much, hockey_magnet. I can certainly see your point about priorities. I'm going to go back and read what Allen says about priorities, especially in the context of a Next Action list. Personally, I have a very hard time making a mental decision about priority when I'm processing a task. I generally just say, "I don't know! I just need to do it!!"
When I read GTD, priorities and projects were the two chapters/ concepts that I found least applicable to my personal style. My mental picture of my own tasks is a big bucket of stuff that all needs to get done: few goal-oriented projects and all tasks are important (with a few exceptions). In spite of that minor disconnect for me, GTD really works (now). I've found this to be the case with a lot of other GTDers that I've talked to: there are one or two elements of the overall approach that aren't effective. For some people, it's contexts, for others it's the tickler file. This is one of the things that I like about GTD: it's a clearly- defined approach with just enough flexibility to allow for personal style. There are, of course, a few elements that I believe are critical elements (inbox processing, calendar management, task reviews). jimmydolittle, I'm very glad you found it helpful. It makes the time I spent writing it up worthwhile to see that someone found it useful. Best, Michael
