Hmmm, looks like i didn't post clearly enough. My post was carried over, (in my mind) from the thread about if goal-setting is bad for you.
Actually, i don't consider DA to be in the self-help guru business per se.
He has some excellent techniques, and a great system, and in my view, sort of undersells what he is selling. There is a real lack of the manipulative BS and exaggeration in DA's work, that is present in so many other self-help and "time management" systems.
I guess if folks had read my other posts, they would be aware that i think DA is selling good stuff, without the fluff.
That might be a good catchphrase, "Good stuff, without the fluff!"
The GTD system has been very helpful to me, due to the fact it does NOT seem to contain the Paul Bunyanesque exaggerations and hype of most of the other alleged "systems" out there.
So it was an unclearly worded compliment!
Reminds me of a phrase from the Donald Trump show "The Apprentice". (that show will allow him to write off on his taxes every single thing Trump owns, as it was on tv!).
The Donald said to one woman,
THAT WAS THE WORST COMPLIMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD!
