For me one of the...

Submitted by johnwin (not verified) on October 3, 2006 - 12:54am.

For me one of the most liberating thigs about GTD was being free of the A-B-C-D, 1-2-3-4 of prioratising that other systems require and the constant re-negotiation of the assigned priority everytime something new came along.

Great post Merlin.
