When I found GTD I thought I found a life changer. I sat down and tried to reduce my overwhelm. For my work alone I had 111 projects.
It helped a lot, but then 1 year old I stopped using it. The problem is GTD is too heavy process wise. There are a lot of little actions you have to take, which at times end up taking as long as next action items since action items will continue to grow.
All GTD web apps always left something out that I did. I lost count how many different websites I tried. I count that as a net productivity loss.
There are a few solid GTD ideas that I have stuck with, but my process has become a lot simpler that it's almost a non process.
Things that GTD is right about
1. Inbox zero
2. Doing a todo dump in a list
3. Having a small number of "in" work
I still follow these three ideas. The rest of my process is a lot more present oriented.
