Very smart, the auto-assignment to NEXT keeps you busy and focused, and saves a number of key-strokes.
But I guess that implies multiple NEXT items. Do you maintain several of those, or one per project? Maybe I'm wrong--I didn't even read the GTD book thoroughly yet--but I like having *one* NEXT action, so that I don't get stuck with too many "next" things. I can understand one NEXT action per project, but several within a single project raises internal warnings. > As I'm working in a team, I have long searched for a way to tell Orgmode > who is with me at a certain moment and display the things that have to > be done together with the(se) person(s).
