Thanks for the great series...

Thanks for the great series of articles on GTD. It’s certainly got me thinking about what I do well and don’t do well with the system.

One of the things I’d like to see is some way of linking what I’m doing with why I’m doing it, as a way to keep me on track and keep me motivated. Sometimes GTD just seems like an endless list of actions — it’s easy (for me anyway) to lose sight of the goal. I need a systematic reminder of, as you say, “…the valuable, desirable, and well-articulated outcome” toward which I’m striving with my tasks.

One of my “attractive nuisances” is thinking about how I’d desig a mash-up of GTD and the 7 Habits.
