I used to schedule all my tasks, but the day page clutter stressed me
out too. (Hehehe. You can tell I procrastinate too much.)

I currently leave most of my tasks undated. I have a few active
projects (FurtherStudies, PlannerModeMaintenance, and JapanTraining).
I have cyclic tasks of the form

#B0 _ Work on PlannerModeMaintenance

to remind me to check those pages and try to do one or two of the
tasks there every so often. I don't associate these cyclic tasks 
with plan pages so that my plan pages don't get that cluttered.

Come to think of it, something that gives me an overview of the
projects with the unfinished/scheduled, unfinished/unscheduled, and
completed projects would be nice.
