[colicoid]

I have kind of a "soft due date" approach that I use a lot.
The formula is:

daily review + flag + (start date/review date = same date)

When the start date comes the action will reenter the system and pop up in the daily review with a flag on it. If I override and decide that the motorcycle will have to wait another week I just postpone those dates.

I tend to not use guilt as a factor for due dates. I think I use external factors. (Other people depend on me / fines etc...)
