I think this is they key "Less is more"
The practice of Kanban is a methodology that predates GTD but applies some of the same principles. It acknowledges your inventory of stuff and makes it visible with post it notes in three columns, backlog, in progress and done. A central belief to Kanban is that increased throughput makes for more successful work. Less items in progress limits multitasking and complexity. This to me is key success factor in having fun, whether I am working or playing
