Thanks for the advice, Brian. And you might be right.

I actually use the flags for this kind of thing. In fact, I'm one of those people that wish OF had "priorities", which I realize may not be part of official GTD philosophy. So I flag several key items that are the priority for the day. Items of "low priority" are often not dated. Then I created a perspective call "Flagged Due Date" which sorts everything by due date and then by flagged items.

If I finish my flagged items, I can see the next items on my list and start going through those. If I don't go through those, I select them all on my desktop and push them to the next day. About once a week (usually Friday) I sort through those and go through my trigger list to see what deserves to be carried through again.

I do have some undated tasks. Some of my "projects" are really notes databases. I don't even want to guess how many hundreds of tasks are in there!
