GTD is easy!

Is it easy? Really?

In your post you wrote:
What GTD tells you to do is to ask yourself, for each stuff that you’ve written down: What’s the desired outcome? You need to do this when you take a thing from your inbox and think about it. You need to turn that “stuff” into a “desired outcome”.

I think that sometimes it can be very difficult.
 
It's not particularly complex, but that doesn't necessarily make it easy.

I mean, lifting a 500 kg boulder isn't complicated, but it isn't easy either.

Still, I'll agree that GTD isn't as difficult as it might appear on the surface. The difficulties it presents are lurking at deeper levels.

Cheers,
Roger
