I tried to do her system years ago. I didn't like it but I don't remember why. Well maybe it is the daily emails I don't like and not the actual system.

It wouldn't matter if it was huge as long as you could set it up so that the stuff that came to the top was not huge.  Well if you did it on the palm it is too hard to move around in a huge outline.

I know when I tried to use Bonsai for GTD before the problem was it was too hard to change the dates on items I didn't want to do right then. The current version allows you to make changes to multiple items at once. (My previous version did not.) This doesn't seem to work for dates though. I thought maybe with the newer version it would be easier to manipulate stuff that needed to be rescheduled.

I also thought I could move something to a parent labeled with a particular date instead of changing the date property.
