Hidden behind the paywall.

Anyway, the "classic" GTD was created as a solution to a problem that no longer exists. Remember, all these virtual folders used to be literal hanging folders... there was no better way to keep track of dozens or hundreds of written / typed notes and tasks.

Now that everybody is keeping their computers in their pockets, GTD's complicated workarounds are way too complicated for many new users. But, the system still has lots of adherents entrenched in it over decades, and all these books and workshops don't pay for themselves ;)
