Jason, I use org-mode for my GTD-implementation and I am in the process of writing a tutorial on using org-mode for GTD. I was thinking how to solve the same problem of creating a project list. An important use of a project list is a checklist during the weekly review to ensure there is a Next Action (NA) defined for each project. One approach I thought of is to have a top level heading for each project as an implied project heading. For example: * Work Projects ** Implement new web server for Intranet ** Negotiate new off site backup service ** Recruit System Administrator * Home Projects ** Tidy out spare bedroom ** Tax return ** Organise dinner party Therefore the level 2 headings shown above are the projects. Following a weekly review the list could look like this: * Work Projects ** Implement new web server for Intranet *** Ring Company A for quotation :PHONE: *** Ring Company B for quotation :PHONE: ** Negotiate new off site backup service *** Call Total Recall company for quotation :PHONE: *** Ask Bill how many Gigabytes we back up :PHONE: ** Recruit System Administrator *** Write job description :COMPUTER: *** Send email to HR for salary range approval :COMPUTER: * Home Projects ** Tax return *** Collect receipts from filing cabine :HOME: *** Review bank statements to calculate interest earned :HOME: ** Organise dinner party *** Ring Bill and Sue to set the date :PHONE: Charles
