ACT has an "Action" component. It is what we do after we find good ways of relating to our thoughts. So, first Accept, then Commit. It is in the last part (commitment) where GTD shines.
It is only when we have a good relationship with our internal experiences that we can use something like GTD to organize ourselves and engage with what we find meaningful. Otherwise we're at risk of becoming psychologically inflexible.
First ACT, then GTD.

3. RFT shows that there *are* ways of becoming more psychologically flexible. The method, by excellence, is #ACT ( #AcceptanceAndCommitmentTherapy ). It teaches us to relate to our internal experiences in better ways, so that we can accept our inner experiences and commit to act so that our lives are meaningful. How does this relate to GTD? …

2. RFT shows us that we are good at solving external problems (thirst, fixing our house, etc.), but if we adopt a problem-solving attitude towards our internal experiences, we will fail. We cannot "solve" sadness. However, by adopting the posture that problems can be flipped into next actions or projects, a naive GTD user would be at risk of feeding the problematic thought networks and becoming psychologically inflexible, as I already mentioned before.

(2/…) The best theory on cognition that we have is #RFT ( #RelationalFrameTheory ). There are three parts of the theory that matter to us here:
1. RFT shows us that the more you engage with particular thought networks, the more you feed them. In other words, someone who internalizes GTD could be at risk of becoming psychologically inflexible if they develop the GTD habits of Capturing, Clarifying, and Organizing their thoughts…
(1/…) There's a fundamental flaw with #GTD (#GettingThingsDone): the goal of using GTD supposedly is getting to a state of "mind like water". The idea is that if you renegotiate agreements with yourself by using GTD, you will be able to properly engage with what matters to you. However, this is now how your mind works, based on our best theory of cognition…

Ricardo Harvin@kimlockhartga "Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly, and focused on happier things than 'politics'. They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren't nice people? Resisters." — Naomi Shulman
