I understand the need to predict what will get done and what will not, in a constrained time period, when there are commitments being made to bosses or clients. Otherwise I would rather use the tools of MLO to get the right stuff, and as much of it as possible, done in the time I have. I don't think you can achieve that if you are pouring energy into knowing in advance when each task will finish and which tasks will remain unaddressed.
