Yeah I love this approach and I use it myself too.
In my opinion, you should never use due dates UNLESS it's absolutely a deadline. Randomly assigning due dates or estimating due dates is a bad idea. You will end up changing due dates a lot when it's not working out as you might have planned, which defeats the purpose.
That's why I love the flagging approach. It is up to you to figure out what the best use of your time is. In Covey syntax, it's pro-active, non-urgetn, important, and for the long-term. You can flag what you want to complete today or this week.
