On the other hand some of the projects need to be reminded of. And those projects always require a project plan. Doe example, all of our sales activities require planning.

I think that a criteria of a project that needs to land on a project list is a project plan. If it requires a project plan then it should be on the project list. If not then it's not needed.
Hi Solyanov2011,

Interesting perspective you bring to the table. GTD is infamous for working to our individual needs and areas of focus, so it's always good to hear what appeals to every individual. One thing I will offer is that I personally feel like the key phrase that gets me excited about GTD is 'stress-free productivity' and I find that this is accomplished first and foremost by getting things out of my mind completely. So even if there is a project that is obvious to me, the amount of head space I can clear by putting it down on paper has an amazing ripple effect that I would never have recognized without this methodology. Just a little food for thought.

Keep up the good work.
