I'd contend that there are plenty of things that I need to do that are single physical actions and thus aren't a project in the GTD sense. Here are some examples from my list at the moment:

Wash car
Trim dead leaves from cyca in office
Make new in-car playlist for iPod

I don't really see how breaking these down any further (i.e. making them into a project) would help: for example, it doesn't make sense to have "wash car" as a project with "get out bucket, sponge and car shampoo", "Fill bucket with water" etc. as separate actions, because to accomplish the aim of washing the car effectively I need to do all those actions in one sitting and thus need to treat it as a single task.
