I have used both -- more GTD than DIT, bur recently have tried DIT. I am one of those exceedingly busy people due to my postion in administration and research. I really do love the DIT approach, but I am afraid I cannot make it work. I simply have too many commitments to juggle and too many inputs to function with a closed list -- and complete the list every day. Even if I use a 3-5 day cycle as Mark suggests, I still cannot complete the list. I need the flexibility that GTD allows where I can move things back and forth from a someday/maybe list -- the proverbial back-burner. My priorities change rapidly and I need a system that allows me this flexibility. Interestingly, I like the more rigid DIT approach -- mainly for its simplicity. Oh well....
