I had been working that way, but I found myself spending too much time
rescheduling tasks.  Many tasks got put off for weeks, one day at a
time!

A lot of my tasks are just ideas I've had that should fit somewhere
into a project plan, but I don't know where at first.  Eventually,
I'll visit the project page and plan things out, but until then,
having them on today's page only serves to stress me out. :-)
