But unless I am missing something, GTD has nothing to offer in helping me
see that I am overcommitted next week (or whenever).
Don't get me wrong - I find some of the GTD approach useful in helping me
focus on what I need to do next. But it is a one trick pony. I want
something that does more than this. And as far am concerned, the fact that
GTD doesn't do what I want, doesn't stop me from wanting MLO to help me in
with this problem ('Am I over committed next week') because I think it
something that can be achieved without compromising the existing
capabilities.

To make this clearer, I should add he goes on to say that for many
this is an "aha!" moment when they realize they are stressed and feel
like they're never getting enough done because they have committed to
so much more than can be accomplished. And while it might be laudable
to plan on doing so many things (or handling so many clients), a
realistic appraisal shows they have simply taken on too much and they
need to trim back to what can actually be accomplished.
All of which sounds an awful lot like forward planning, at least to
me.
