Have you read David Allen's book? I have. I think he'd probably argue that the above is too oversimplified. Here's the official version. You'll notice it's a lot more complicated; there's far more energy spent in the "no" parts because those don't actually go away.

I also find the "2 minute rule" to be stupid. I use more like 7-10 minutes because if my life were made up of 2-minute things I could play video games all day.

GTD's primary benefit is in organization for action. The graph above basically says "only do shit if you can deal with it immediately."
