After reading 70% of it, I realized that it is for a 'big' manager who needs to multitask a lot between some desk work, phone conf calls, meetings and more meetings and not for an individual contributor like me who generally works on 1 or 2 issues simultaneously and has 2 meetings a week.
For me following the process mentioned in GTD would be an over kill.
Even though I dont go to 10-20 meetings in a week, I feel the information overload due to amount of emails and RSS blogs I check daily. Even to do simple stuff like calling friends and relatives I put it on calender instead of memorizing it.This methodology has certainly helped.
You are only considering only horizontal domain what about vertical domains?
Of course you are the better one to judge if you want short term or a long term benefits .
No procrastination etc. This is called 2 minute rule. He infact encourages to do this at the same time reducing the impulsive (buying) doing of certain things.
The one most people are going to enjoy in GTD is someday/maybe and Tickler list. There is one way human brain is going to do this naturally for you.
More and more you read this book, more you will appreciate all the concepts.

I do follow some processes, like; I pay bills on the day I receive it and not near the pay-by date. No procrastination etc.
PIG has also helped me a lot.
