I is definitely a well thought-out program; the two things I can hold against it are:

(a) the aesthetics, i.e. I’d personally prefer something more visual; but this goes for TimeTo as well and it’s not something crucial

(b) the memory burden; it’s very heavy on resources. The task manager shows almost 50 Mb allocated to it when IDEA! which is a whole database hardly needs 20.

As I need to regularly use my task planner in 2-3 machines none of which is particularly powerful—actually my notebook’s pretty basic- I think I’ll pass for practical reasons.

Nevertheless I can understand your and Daly’s enthusiasm; a lot of gray cell investment has gone into the system and I think it’s particularly suitable for implementing GTD, Covey’s or any other similar methodology.

BTW I got rather intrigued by Neil Fiore’s approach, mentioned in the TimeTo forum; I’m ordering the book “The Now Habit”.
