Hi, all,

I suppose I can explain a bit how I use MI to get close to GTD goodness...

The trick for me is to have a Name for each Project and Place/Context.
You can attach or link to Names from anywhere, and link to as many
names as needed. This gives me the ability to file under multiple
things (a student's name, the project he's funded by, the paper we're
writing together, and the class in which the resaerch is being carried
out). Then, when you're in a given place or thinking about a certain
thing, you just tap on that Name. My ToDo list looks like hell in
Dates if I don't attach due dates that spread things out, but from
within Names I can see ahead very nicely, with filtering easily set up.

I happen to dislike At a Glance because it takes so insanely long to
read data. Pause pause pause pause... finally I have a readout.
Perhaps it's because I'm in an old version of MoreInfo. Who knows.
DateSum, which reads from the dates soup, is similarly slow, as was
DateMan, when I tried it.
