I am honestly surprised to find that the cards used in this incredibly overproduced riff on Getting Things Done's method are the same size as commonly-available index cards, so you can use the cute tray without spending $10 for a pack of 50 cards. Or maybe not - the tray has rounded corners designed to fit snugly with the branded cards, while a $5 pack of 300 blank white index cards from Office Depot has sharp corners.

I'm going to sound like a party pooper, but the core market for these kinds of products are people that want to get organized so they buy these things to feel like they're doing it, only to put it at the back of their desk drawer after a week of use.
That's easy to say, but I don't see a lot of evidence for the statement, in general. Minimal, designer-y products like this I tend to see used by productive creative directors and the like. More complicated tools like planners or OmniFocus seem to be preferred by people advancing or tracking many small projects. What made you say that other than disdain for the product?
Yyyyyyep.
