MGSD is poorly documented unfortunately. The best way to learn about tiddlers and the MGSD architecture is just to play with it. I use MGSD with a couple of plugins to follow the book as closely as possible. For me, part of the challenge of MGSD is having the discpline to operate it properly. Sometimes I stray from the "true path", maybe spending ages on one task when it is not really important for my goals, or just grabbing tasks that seem attractive when they would be better done later. When I return to the "true path" and apply strict GTD, everything becomes clear again and my anxiety suddenly reduces.
