David Allen's Getting Things Done. Have any INTPs here implemented it?

At my research/project-based job, I've started a habit of documenting my thoughts, to-do tasks, updates throughout the day, complete with first-person commentary (that sometimes goes off on a tangent). At the end of the day, I send it all to myself. I now have a Work folder in my inbox from 'Day 1' to 'Day 90'. Apart from being a record of progress, doing this helps me at least put my many ideas in writing...and yes, to my brain, it also works like a RAM does to a computer.

Haha. I'm at the point where I'm debating hiring some to do the boring stuff. The problem is, they would probably do more work than me, which doesn't feel right. Maybe I shouldn't care about how it feels haha.

Wait, isn't that the point of having an associate or assistant? Anyway, it's not necessarily about quantity. You hire someone to do the work that feels like work. You know, things like triple-checking data, finding statistics and booking flights.
Naturally, you should leave the fun stuff to yourself.

And don't worry about it not feeling right. You're giving someone a job in tough economic times.
