I somehow agree with you.

The Moleskine hack is not exactly David Allens GTD.
It's a simplified system. Much simpler IMO.

After setup of the Moleskine, theres a huge section of the notebook where you write down anything. Then there's a couple of seperate to-do lists depending on where exactly you are. Work, home etc.

I wouldn't implement the "entire" GTD system into my life either.
It would take too much time fiddling with the system.

But I love to be able to look up the "work" section while at work every once in a while just to check if I'm forgetting something very important to do.

I think that you might change your opinion a bit on this when / if you check my pics and skim quickly through the walkthrough.

As I said, when the setup is done, there's not much to it other than writing down your thoughts and then sort them whenever you got the time for it.

It "stores" many small good ideas that you would forget otherwise.

Regarding the "put it off" concept, it's pretty much exactly what this system does for me. I write down things to do and thoughts as I get them, so that I don't have to fill my head with them.
This way I can completely relax, live my life knowing that all I have to do is to peek in my notebook to that there's nothing utterly important that needs doing.

Then I can work on my to-do's and projects whenever I feel like it.
