Because there's always something I didn't get done yesterday, and I often have pushed too many tasks forward onto a given day, and don't want to see more than about 15 TODOs in my agenda on any given day. > That seems like a lot of overhead to me.

Because then they show up in the consciousness like a failure instead of as just what I have to do today, and they tend to pile up and lead to a state of despair, where the agenda is too daunting to face. They need to be processed. I need to re-negotiate the contract I made with myself about when they were getting done. > Alternatively if it's a repeating task, you can use a single day > repeater and just mark the item DONE to move it to the next day.

Thanks, but I need to do this to keep on track.
