Value process over aims
GTD list is not something etched in stone - its just a reflection of your current aims and activities. It’s constantly changing, all the time. So no big deal if something is not done, or something has gone unexpectedly. GTD is an instrument of awareness, of reflection.
GTD is the place to be aware of your intentions and aims, not the place to make agreements with yourself. Making agreements is difficult and painful. Bringing some of your aims to light may be painful - if you don’t want to do it, or have enough, or something like that. GTD is not the place to make peace between your heart and your mind.
If you see they’re not in peace - take a pause, set a time to deal with it. Listen to yourself - what’s REALLY important to you these days. Do not hesitate to throw something away (or move to “oneday / maybe” list).
