I am currently trying out a combination of both. Another point is that the five steps to project planning highlighted in the GTD book, can very well work for planning one's life as well. There is also a good post by Steve Pavlina on this: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/02/the-essential-missing-half-of-getting-things-done/ My impression from both GTD and Covey was that GTD addresses the everyday “doing” while Covey focuses on more overall planning.

Julie Morgenstern's time management book does address these issues, but in my opinion it's generally not of the same caliber as Allen's and Covey's books.
