Qamanager – thanks for supporting me and taking me to that page. It says it better than I could! I certainly changed my management of office and paper to a GTD-type methodology and I have the tidiest trays, desk and in-box in the office. I am surrounded by people with piles of paper, desks all akimbo with post-its galore, all moaning about being busy while I play Solitaire, carry out my core tasks AND in-house personal development training delivery (and other sidelines requiring my attention). But apparently, my time management ability is not of interest to them. Whose the fool, here?

I agree. GTD seems to concentrate more on the day-to-day tasks and the higher level overview it suggests seems somehow tagged onto the philosophy. This is a great article exploring this point further:

I agree GTD is a good system but unlike Covey's philosophy (unless I am reading it wrong) it is very focussed on the individual aplying it, whereas the Covey system is also focussed on the interpersonal relationships within which tasks and time have to be managed. No reason why one cannot apply both philosophies.

I used and taught Covey and Daytimer for many years before reading David Allen's GTD book and switching to GTD. And then I found an application that allows me to view my entire GTD at work on my Win machine, at home on my Macs and even on my cell phone. And another app lets me call in tasks to my GTD without any writing or typing, great for those thoughts that hit me while driving. I've written about my experiences with GTD in a blog post at http://johnkendrick.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/mo... John
