Yeah, hoo boy, exactly that issue has really become a problem for me.
I’ve started using flags to solve it as well, but it my case I created a perspective that shows only items that are
both due
and flagged. It’s a real kludge, a very rough sort of prioritizing. In my mind, the flag means “this item is
really due,” whereas an item that’s due but flagless is “not actually really
due so much as I would have kinda liked to have gotten to this around this date ...” Eye roll. So not GTD-proper. Not quite sure how it came to this.
I like the idea of not using due dates at all, and just seeing actions appear in a list of flagged items when they hit a start date. It’s not really any less kludgy, but at least it doesn’t blatantly abuse the concept of “due.” :)
