If lots of creative bits floating around in your head works for you, and doesn't distract from accomplishing the day to day things, then all good. The thing I've seen most about "GTD doesn't work!" feelings is the assumption that 'doing GTD' is all or nothing. "record everything and become task robot" is one extreme. The core idea is "use something other than your mind to keep track of the core things you want to be reminded of later, and the stress of 'what was that thought again?' can go away." If you get to a point of not worrying about what might have fallen between the cracks, you've got enough of a system and I call that 'working'. My "GTD" system doesn't look anything at all like DA explains it, but the concepts were enough to push me in the right direction and find what works to keep that worry at bay.
