I think you need to do those reviews religiously. I've been listening to the David Allen/Merlin Mann podcasts (you can get them from either's website). In one, David Allen was talking about the importance of doing the entire system. He was saying that, for instance, if you skip reviews, then your brain can't trust the system because you aren't referring back to the things you've put into your collection buckets. You distrust the system, you start to leak and you let the system go.

I've noticed the reviews are problematic for me too, and I've noticed that I was beginning to let the system go.

I think you gotta do regular reviews.
