The present invention teaches a variety of event bounds adjustment methods and systems. The bounds of the event are defined by event parameters including an event start boundary, an event stop boundary, and an event duration, wherein the event start boundary and the event stop boundary may be tied to one another such that an event parameter interdependence exists. One method includes the steps of displaying an event adjustment window showing the event start boundary, the event stop boundary, and the event duration, receiving an event adjustment input explicitly intended to modify a selected event parameter being a one of the event start boundary, the event stop boundary, and the event duration, whereby each non-selected event parameter may be implicitly intended to be modified, modifying the selected event parameter in accordance with the event adjustment input, modifying each non-selected parameter in accordance with the event parameter interdependence, and displaying the event adjustment window showing the event start boundary, the event stop boundary, and the event duration as modified. In another embodiment, a pen-based computer implemented system for performing the above steps is disclosed. In still another embodiment, a computer readable medium contains a computer program for adjusting the bounds of an event. In addition, the present invention teaches a graphical user interface having a pen-based. Implemented within the pen-based computer system are an event scheduler display window, an event slip corresponding to the identified event, a time picker event adjustment window, and a date picker event adjustment window.
