But at times, I wonder if it isn’t just the next fad. It’s certainly partly a backlash to the personal productivity movement, with GTD at the centre. But maybe it’s also the new GTD. Instead of doing work, people are still tinkering. But now they do so under the guise of ‘reducing’ or ‘simplifying’.
I think he is right. A certain amount of complicity is OK and I will go into deeper thoughts about this soon but for now I agree 100% with Chris. Everything simple does not mean you get more done. Sometimes personally I get stuck in getting everything simpler and than get nothing done in the end!
