GTD allows people to have some extra time, to do the things they want to do. But I think the difference between ZTD and GTD is ZTD focuses on those goals/values, and GTD just has them as a byproduct.

So once the clutter is clear, now what? To some people, they never have time to think and work on things that they want in their life. Every day is just on survival mode. Perhaps they decide to give it a try to GTD is to survive more. As for me, after implementing GTD, I guess I just past the survival mode. I start noticing some other things in my life that I have been missing, due to some extra space that I get for myself.

Great post! Hey Leo,

Thanks for the kind words ;)

I think very highly of your blog as well, and have been reading it to <strike>steal ideas</strike> find inspiration for quite some time. Just wanted to clarify my position on tools a bit: while I am an advocate of paper and pen, my real recommendation is that people use tools that are as simple as possible. For some (like your example of web developers), online tools might be better -- but even then, I recommend you find very simple online lists rather than ones that require a complicated tagging system or that make entry of new tasks difficult. Thanks for letting me clarify that and thanks again for the great post on ZTD! Hi Glen … thanks for the nice mention and the flattering remarks!
