in Covey versus Allen: Let battle commence! on rob thompsons hub
Qamanager - thanks for supporting me and taking me to that page. It says it better than I could! I certainly changed my management of office and paper to a GTD-type methodology and I have the tidiest trays, desk and in-box in the office. I am surrounded by people with piles of paper, desks all akimbo with post-its galore, all moaning about being busy while I play Solitaire, carry out my core tasks AND in-house personal development training delivery (and other sidelines requiring my attention). But apparently, my time management ability is not of interest to them. Whose the fool, here?

I agree GTD is a good system but unlike Covey's philosophy (unless I am reading it wrong) it is very focussed on the individual aplying it, whereas the Covey system is also focussed on the interpersonal relationships within which tasks and time have to be managed. No reason why one cannot apply both philosophies.

qamanager I agree. GTD seems to concentrate more on the day-to-day tasks and the higher level overview it suggests seems somehow tagged onto the philosophy. This is a great article exploring this point further:
