Matt has tweaked the GTD 'next actions' list in an interesting way. His approach definitely fits with the ideals of GTD: to avoid unecessary mental drain when looking at your TODOs:
Releases are small actions that are not project related. GTD has you put these on your next actions list. I found that doing so actually ruined my next action list because I would always end up with six trillion mosquito tasks staring at me all day long. I'd want to do things just to get them off my list, and not because it was the most strategic use of time.
So now I group all of these mosquito tasks together into a project of their own, which I keep outside of my next action list. My "next action" on them is then "work through releases."
