GTD is not for creative work. GTD is great to deal with <i>type 2 procrastination</i> [1] because not everybody can afford to have somebody doing their important errands. So it is just an efficient method of preventing my (your) life to become a mess. Listing every micro action in a fancy way (in my case I use Evernote [2]) would be wasted time (that is better spent deciding what is the next action or doing real work), a sheet of paper is more efficient for that.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;paulgraham.com&#x2F;procrastination.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;paulgraham.com&#x2F;procrastination.html</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;we-build-dreams&#x2F;hamster-gtd" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;we-build-dreams&#x2F;hamster-gtd</a> (a simple implementation that you can use as a starting point)
