Michael, I agree with you, which is why I do the following when I want to accomplish what you've described:

1. Make sure that my actions in the project are listed in sequential not parallel order.
2. Make sure that the Status Filter is set to "Next Action."
3. In project view select the project from the project list and click on "Focus" in the toolbar.

The above setup results in the display of only the project you're working and that project's next action. Once you mark that action as complete, the next action will be displayed, and will continue on in that way until all actions are completed.

And, no, you cannot do this in the inbox, as the inbox is meant only to be a temporary holding place for your tasks until you move them into their appropriate projects, single-action lists, etc.

Hope this helps.

John
