That article is interesting, but really just talks about one guy's journey with GTD (Mann), and another guy's great-but-different proposal for higher-than-individual level changes. I spent a little time trying to find an actual study, however non-rigorous, about GTD, and this was the only real contender: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222552899_Getting_Things_Done_The_Science_Behind_Stress-Free_Productivity https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222552899_Getting_T... I don't use GTD in any explicit fashion, but to throw my n=1 in the ring, the overall concept of personal productivity changed my life. Anything can be taken to a harmful extreme, and I was (at least) annoying for the first few years. But I grew out of it and kept the good parts, and I have no doubt that, for me, this sort of thing was hugely beneficial.
