    Default Two questions - regular actions and ongoing "projects"

    Hi everyone, I'm new to GTD and I would like to know your thoughts on actions that must be done regularly, such as meditation or exercise or piano practice or checking the mail - should you create new next action lists marked "Daily" and "weekly" and not cross items off these lists when you've done them? How would you differentiate these actions from "one-time" next actions?

    My second question is about project lists - I have set up different project lists for "short term", "long term", as well as "ongoing projects" - the last one isn't really a list of projects as such, but ongoing commitments that don't have a tangible goal in sight where I can say "finished". Am I on the right track or is there a more efficient way to do this?

    Thanks in advance!
