The problem isn't GTD, it's this desire to do and be "remarkable" all the time. To only want to do "deep work" so people will remark about it and then tell other people how awesome you are is shallow at best. I think Dale Carnegie had it right when he said: Generally speaking we like the big stuff because it seems to make an impact. Huge tasks should equal huge rewards, theoretically. If you do a lot of little things really well, however, it reflects positively on your character. You seem like a person who gets a lot done and does a great job. The little tasks may not always seem exciting, but you have a lot to gain by completing them with the same passion as a larger project.
