One question for all users of knowledge-bases like this:
How often do you write something down and look it the next day and realize it's not relevant anymore because of reasons like:
• you memorized it
• it's not as important as it seemed yesterday
• it's a todo and having it there actually nags you and prevents you from completing it
• it creates some other kind of mental load: while skipping over it, it grabs your attention, which then prevents you from attending to other tasks on the list.
I have a theory that GTD helps only few, for most people it just makes them feel better because they are now spending time creating lists instead of doing what's on them.
