&gt; ... I was fortunate enough to have health issues and not have a job at the time so I could pour countless hours into this on the faith that I would reach consistency. ...<p>That was so jarring to read. Mostly because it&#x27;s so common in my country (USA). Health problems should be nothing but unfortunate. If they&#x27;re fortunate, it&#x27;s because the system is broken.<p>I find the high level pieces of GTD to be done, but the formality and rigidity were not freeing to me as they were described. I&#x27;ve got a system that works amazingly well for me, and I&#x27;m happy. I definitely learned from GTD, which I&#x27;m so thankful. I&#x27;m sure I&#x27;m still using parts of it as a system, but it was more stuff that I found out didn&#x27;t work for me, which definitely valuable.
