Guys

I have been gradually implementing GTD. My work is nearly all electronic and the system is Lotus Notes which I am slowly hacking into some useful form. I am sure there are better systems than Notes. My question is around documents that are sent to me for review. These always take more than 2 minutes so they go into next-actions and into the read and review category. However, they always have deadlines on them which need remembering. If I put them into a calendar or a tickler system then they get put against a hard date which would always be the last date, not good practice because you get a reputation for always leaving things to the last minute.

How do others cope with these 'soft' date issues.
