I think you are aware of the fact that the main purpose of goals should be to provide a certain quality for the present moment as opposed to I'll be happy/fine/whatever if I finally reach them (as far as I remember this is Steve).
Yup, I read that post from Steve.

You can read my thoughts regarding this system here (you should start with David's second book too). Regarding GTD and goal setting, Google the 6 level model for reviewing your work.

As for the questions you posted, I think they are more detailed than necessary. But that might turn out as a good thing too.

Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback and the link Norbet. I actually started reading the Getting Things Done a week ago. I plan on finishing reading it this weekend so I can have a process to implement the goals. I wasn't aware of the second book, I'll look into it.
