Carl Pullein explains why using due dates for all tasks in your to-do list manager can make them meaningless and create unnecessary stress.

Quotes to ponder:
"When you have a list of tasks for the day that are not due, your daily to-do list loses its power."
"The weekly review is where once you have reviewed all your projects and appointments for next week you are in a much better-informed state on what you can do next week."
"The 2+8 Prioritization technique restricts you to just ten tasks a day."
