Why ‘What’s the Next Action?’ is the Most Important Question?

One of the fundamentals of GTD is to ask yourself, with any item that you are processing from your inbox (physical or email or voicemail), with any project that you have on your projects list: “What’s the Next Action?”

And it is this question, this simple little four-word question, that can be transforming for many people, even if they don’t realize it. Here’s why.

1. A project can sit on our to-do list for a long time without getting done.
2. Other items might not be projects, but they might not exactly be actions either.
3. GTD is action-oriented.
4. Non-doable actions are removed from the list.
5. It requires and encourages quick decisions.
