Good morning. I'm a new GTDer (still reading section 1); and am looking forward to impressive changes implementing this strategy.

I thought I understood the difference between Projects and New Actions. However, a statement in Newsletter No. 40 (Food for Thought: Being Complete with Your Incompletions has me stumped.
In seminars I often show people all my projects (about sixty at this writing) and next actions to do about them (about 150) . . .
Unless I've missed something (or just haven't gotten far enough in the book), there would only be one next action per project. Admittedly, I've considered creating a "Subsequent Actions" list just so I don't have to stop and think about a next action every time I complete one. Is this how the number of next actions can exceed the number of projects?

I hope I won't refer back to this "inaugural" inquiry and feel like an idiot for asking a "not so smart" question

If it's not too inconvenient, please refer me to page numbers or web pages that will allow me to follow up on your reply. Thanks.
