All these articles are written to market something, in this case the author himself.

This is a pretty poor area to market yourself. Covey might be dead, but Allen is still productive and IMHO, is a better writer than this guy.
Shocking, isn't it? But he goes on to describe GTD concepts that would make TODOs meaningful as if he is the original source of said ideas.
Most of the ideas are quite old- possibly enough to be considered 'public domain.' From Daytimers systems to 'getting organized' self-help books, these things have been around since at least the 1970s.

This article says some of this stuff is as old as Benjamin Franklin. http://www.inc.com/ss/brief-history-time-management#0
Anyone serious about managing their time is familiar with each of these problems and develops their To-Do list with these complexities in mind.
The To-Do list is dead. Long live the To-Do list.
