Certainly, it's true that a stitch in time saves nine - but knb's problem is not usefully resolved by saying it's a nonproblem.

If he can't get anything important done for the sake of the trivial, that is a very big problem.

I'm not saying it's a non-problem by any external standard, it's just that GTD assumes it's pretty much a non-problem.
