First half sounds like GTD / workflowy. Second half sounds like Goal Factoring.

Agreed with these analogies.

But this seems more like a 5-second skill thing, which is cool.

When I've tried it, it's taken more like 30 s - 1 min.

Another thing separating it from a 5-second skill is that you can use it on others, too, but that could be a bit Dark Artsy.

There is, of course, another skill, which is knowing what zoom level is appropriate.

Definitely.
