GTD has some great side effects. I owe all my recent success to GTD. Apart from all the other goodies, The following things have been a game changer for me. 1. Next tasks: Helps me identify new opportunities to work on. And take next obvious steps to any task, where others aren't seeing. In fact one would be surprised how many great opportunities lurk in the next tasks. 2. Weekly reviews: Helps me take quick iterations of feed back on the week and immediately improve by applying the feedback to the next week. This at times over some months(When I'm working using GTD really well) has lead to runaway improvements in many areas of my work. 3. Writing it down and prioritizing: I use a normal pen and paper. Tracking, drawing doodles, other things is very easy. Writing down tasks and prioritizing helps me eliminate an entire tree of unimportant tasks and pick up the important ones. This combined with the weekly review can be a very powerful tool. Lastly the efficiency of GTD depends entirely on our efficiency to take things seriously and work on them. And GTD is a framework, nearly all GTD practitioners I know of ultimately build something over GTD that works for them.
