I am a new user of GTD. "It's about being able to take complete stock of your life on a regular basis" Is it then enough to leave everything in Inbox and decl

  Well, not really. Taking stock is the activity, but the goal is to relieve you of the stress of keeping many things in your head (and fearing dropping some). The open loops, as they say. By leaving stuff in your inbox (say, a bill to pay), you never really put that loop to rest unless you actually pay the bill. With projects support, context lists and a regular review process, you can still get it out of your way and know with confidence that you won't forget to pay that bill in time because you trust your system.

  There's a lot missing from that. How do you track things you are waiting for or that will take many steps over potentially months? How do you look at how much is going on in your life and decide how to trim that if needed? How do you use that inbox to judge whether you're working toward things you want? Where do you put things that you would like to do at some point but not right now? Again, that's what a lot of people miss. When you have everything in front of you, you can look at it as a whole and say, "Alright, what do I want to be different?"
