I'll second that! Before I discovered GTD, I was just as productive, but I was a lot more stressed. I assigned every task to a due date and watched the "overdue" counter go up unless I took the time to change the dates. I didn't have a routine for capturing every new input and had to waste a lot of my brainpower keeping track of what I had to do or doing damage control when I forgot something.
I wouldn't say that I have drunk the GTD koolaid, but I have tried several approaches to managing my life and I'd say that GTD works best for my career and life, and that OF is a great application for implementing it (along with lists in OOP, and an Automator workflow that runs me through my weekly review).
