Y'know what upsets me about GTD gurus?

[elfs]

I read all of these how-tos about become more efficient, being more effective. Most of the stuff is straightforward and simple. But then I read about how these guys put their own stuff into practice, the polyphasic sleepers, the "I get to bed at 8:30pm every night without fail" dudes, the "I simplify so that nothing gets between me and accomplishment" people, and I realized today: none of them have children. Or wives. Or girlfriends. Or lives.

Oh yes. You can be VERY efficient and career-minded when you don't have a family to think about. Move to Switzerland to take a VP position? Just have the movers pick your stuff up and be on the plane in the morning. But when you have wife and kids, life just isn't that simple.
