Absolutely. But I find that one of the challenges I have is adhering to that list of priorities I've established. Once I start working, I tend to go with the flow rather than checking my list every time I finish a task. And you still have choices about what to work on from moment to moment. That's when I find myself slipping. “I thought prioritizing tasks was what the weekly review was all about.”

More often than not, my review is done twice a week and involves moving one, and only one, task from each project to the next actions list. Then, when I complete one of those high priority items, I move another to the next actions list. This keeps the number of actions down to a minimum, and keeps me looking for the next dated or high priority to do item. It helps that the application I use allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving.
