Ah, absolutely. I think what's important is recognizing when a task is vague (intentionally or otherwise). It could be "Google 'mend chair leg' for 25 mins and list out next actions', and then those actions become new tasks. I think we're definitely in agreement here. If there's a misfit between a problem and GTD, the challenge is to figure out how to frame the problem properly. To zoom out a little- GTD won't create an inspiring work of art, but GTD will manage the artist's schedule, and free her up to read more, meet other artists more, get inspired more, etc.
