GMBW,
This is awesome! I've been trying this get structure for the past week now and I've been much faster when doing my tasks. I once used outcomes or something similar to it before discussed by Merlin Mann and then abandoned it because it was too much work. But This is very very simple. It took me a bit of creativity and warming up too at first but now I'm light years faster. I actually start my day doing a mind dump asking "What do I need to get", then get, and get... until I've fully cleared all my thoughts. Again, this is a huge gift to my task management arsenal.
I realized why I felt so much resistance with Superfocus. Many of my ill formed tasks just clogged my column 2 and required me to keep thinking. Big cognition drain! I noticed you said that important tasks pop out more than others.
The only thing is I'm not understanding. why do you keep saying to not also write the GET in the tasks?

Although I answered your question about the 'converting a room but where you didn't know the actual room it would be converted to.', I didn't feel satisfied with my answer because I thought it wasn't sensitive enough to your situation. It was more of what I would do rather than what you should do. Then I remembered Mark's example of building a bridge. I think it would give you a better understanding of what and why I'm saying what I am saying. It can be found here:

It is a better example than the essay one I gave and much clearer to understand.
