It's just a variation on stuff like "making SMART goals". It's a framework for breaking down your goal into identifiable steps and finding ways to check your progress early, instead of saying "this year I'll lose weight" and checking back on December 30.
Not that I'm a particular David Allen GTD fan (and really am not much of a "methodology" person in general) but one of the handful of his ideas I really did like was the idea of breaking down projects into specific actionable tasks. Whether it's losing weight or getting better organized.
