gtd versus obsessive finishing

cal newport at mit posted [1] a good comparison of david allen’s getting things done versus his notes on high accomplishment.

i think allen’s system includes the idea of noting completion criterion for each project and being clear about how to complete something. that was my take away at least. but i appreciated his note about productive people having a near obsessive interest in finishing projects that they start and not getting so distracted by other projects or ongoing work beyond completion criterion.
