  Underrated point is that it’s not about getting things done, it’s about doing the right things.

    I think phrases like GTD/GID predate these systems and bring that connotation already. No one uses them to describe a person who constantly makes progress "doing stuff" but doesn't accomplish anything impactful. The phrase "getting the things you don't want to do but are far more impactful than the things you actually feel like doing, done" just doesn't make for a a catchy acronym.

  >>If you're good at getting things done you just get more BS work. There's optical solace derived by looking at long list of things you got done. This happens when you count and not weigh things. If you are doing GTD, you probably also want to looking in to 'next tasks' and weekly reviews. Also get out of this habit of trying to fill up your diary with tasks. More importantly opportunity identification and even creating them proactively is easier said than done. GTD is just a process. And its a process without intelligence. The core of the idea is don't keep things in your mind and stress it out.
