Getting Things Done

I read this on the recommendation of the internet, 'getting things done', seems to be all the rage now-a-days. It puts forward the following principles:

<div><ul>

<li>Put all your tasks/projects into a system <span style="font-weight:bold">outside of your head</span></li>

<li>Determine the next physical action on all of them</li>

<li>Review this system regularly</li>

</ul></div>

Sounds like common sense? It more or less is. But it is good at providing a good system to do all of this. The only thing troubling me is the 'outside of your head' bit. I've always felt it'd be nice to be able to know what you're doing at all times. The argument for freeing up that mindspace for actual work is probably valid too.
