I agree, this is the opposite of Getting Things Done. I've been using the GTD method (quite obsessively) for about a year now and I love it. I've got clean workspace where everything is waiting for me to do stuff. I have a system of lists categorized by Next Actions, Someday/Maybe, Projects and so on. Both digitally and with paper. When I saw the title I was surprised. And my experiences are quite the opposite of what I'm reading in the article. My life improved a lot by using lists. The problem of having to guess how long stuff takes and the cascading effect of constantly having to reschedule everything was very depressing for me. Nowadays I'm doing the important stuff from the Next Actions list and do something from the Someday/Maybe list for fun. And my calendar and reminders make sure I do the time critical stuff at the time it needs to be done. This article sounds insane to me.
