Why not just use remember mode to record these things? You don't have
to stop what you are doing - just hit the key sequence to invoke
org-remember and enter the details of your item and C-c C-c and you're
done.
Just create a remember note with a target of your gtd.org file - or file
to tasks.org and use the refile mechanism with ido completion later to
move the task to the right place efficiently.
My setup is described here:
