Is it accurate to say GTD is the mother of all tools?

Interesting! I think...maybe yes?
Something I've noticed recently, although not software-related, is that I read / am reading a couple of other self-development / productivity books. The correlation with GTD is marked. In one (Make Time) they do acknowledge David's work on occasion, the other (Tranquility by Tuesday) I haven't finished but there is a lot that "fits" with GTD. I think the point I'm trying to make is that David's comments around how he discovered GTD, he didn't invent it, are very valid. There's either a basic human commonality-of-approach, or everyone writing improving books has GTD to hand!

Your question reminds me of one of my favorite and fundamental quotes from David Allen. It’s from a chapter on the Clarifying stage of GTD.Is it accurate to say GTD is the mother of all tools?
"Once you really integrate this clarification process into your life-and work style, you will find yourself comfortable with a wide range of tools that can genuinely work for you. If you haven't applied this process, nothing will seem to serve you very well." (Making It All Work page 111)
I like opportunities to share that quote.
In the sense of that quote, I would say yes.
