Hi Karl,

I'm 60% through the book. I'll share my insights shortly.

Thank your for your definitions, they make sense :)

No. At least not to me.

Please do so.

For me, this approach is especially interesting related to PIM/GTD.


Without looking into Wikipedia or such and without deeper background
knowledge, I'd have *guessed*:

- systems are made of processes
- system is a higher level process, accomplishing bigger things than a
 task
- a process defines a method to accomplish a task
- frameworks are generic tools for implementing a process
- a method is the underlying principle of how a process is designed

YMMV :-)
