I have read the book and like the ideas, although I not even close to being a "black belt".
I have a full time hjob, run a largish website (another full time job) and have 3 kids (currently looking after them by myself, another full time job). Its a messy life and I am crap at organisation. Always missing commitments, being late, being chased and hassled. depressing.
Writing shit down, working out which are the important ones makes it easier.
Sorting thru my inbox and deleting stuff, or putting them into piles so at least I know what's there (even if I haven't done it yet) lifts all that mental angst from my shoulders and I feel better about it.
Its a personal productivity system, not a religion. At the end of the day you need to be organised or learn to be organised to make it work, every day, as there is no silver bullet or pretty pill that will make it work. That's "all" its about. hmmm interesting ..
