What I say...
"It is a comprehensive time and task management philosophy that is so simple to maintain you can keep it up on a rainy Monday morning when you have a bad flu."
I think I heard that somewhere--not sure--and have picked it up.

Here's one way I could describe the system.
1. Don't use the brain to store any information, get it out in a trusted system and sort it later using the workflow chart.
2. Execute tasks in a piggyback (context based) mode as you work through your (possibly) chaotic daily activities.
3. Use a periodic weekly review to tie up loose ends and to make sure that the above two items are going in the right direction.
If I may add further,
4. Always ask the question - what is a successful outcome, and what is the next action.

What's great about GTD?
I always tell people that a few years ago my desk was always as messy as X's (every group has an X who's office looks like a paper dump) and I had a reputation for not following through on commitments. GTD got my office cleaned up, got me on top of the workflow so that I can be more relaxed and consistently beat deadlines.
Since the talk is backed up by the appearance of my office, organized labeled folders and ability to produce work, they usually want to write down the title of the book.

GTD has put hair on my chest, improved my love life, turned me into a speed-reader, lowered the Ferritin levels in my blood, and increased my height.
Also, using the GTD methodology, i have learned "Yogic Flying" and am saving a bundle on airfare.

Most other time/self-management texts focus on philosophy which, while easily absorbed from the comfort of one's arm chair, gets lost in the Murphy's Law aspect of the real world. GTD certainly accommodates one's philosophical leanings. However, it presents a practical step-by-step approach to minimizing stress, primarily via the combo of braindumps and reviews.
