They do in my workflow.
I clean the house using a modification of FlyLady's Zones. Each week I focus on a different part of the house, and do the cleaning/maintenance tasks for that area.
My OF setup for this work is:
Folder: Liz the Housewife
Projects: Kitchen (this week)
Bathrooms (on hold for next week)
Living Room (on hold for 2 weeks from now)
etc.
I could set up each zone's Project as either Sequential, Parallel, or Singleton. Sequential doesn't make any sense, Parallel shows me only one Next Action, which I don't like. So I currently have my On Hold zones set to Singleton.
I suppose now that repeating Projects works, this might be a better solution. But I can easily see other collections of singleton Actions that one may want to put on hold. [Things to do once the kids are settled in school, random thoughts related to the remodel we plan to do before the next Ice Age, etc.]
