Getting Things Done is a fantastic system, but it is difficult to implement and maintain. I have written a short article about this and the role that apps like Toodledo play on Medium which you can read here:

I have posted a followup article about using the higher horizons of GTD (Principles, Values, Goals) and the difficulty of relating those to the lower horizons of Projects and Tasks.

I have found over the years that my time management methods tend to get more and more complicated over time, until they end up getting in the way and slowing me down.

I have published my much simpler Goal Action System recently. It might help you. It certainly helps me. Read about it here:

Goal Action System

Hi, I've read your post carefully. Please don't get me wrong, I just want to understand it correctly - I can see this system is very very similar to MYN. Could you please write a bit more what distinguishes it from M.Linenberger's approach?

Thanks for your message.

Michael Linenberger’s MYN is an excellent system. Both MYN and GAS address the urgency of your actions and map them to task priorities.

The main difference in the Goal Action System is that it is managing the tension between the pull of your goals and the push of your urgent actions for today.

I had thought this was enough of a differentiation. However for the avoidance of doubt I have added an acknowledgement to MYN (and GTD) into my post.

Thanks again for pointing this out.

Regards,
Andrew
