A number of people don't use day pages, I think. You can set
planner-use-day-pages to nil if you want. =)

Ruthlessly trim your task list by moving tasks forward or using
undated tasks. <grin> If a task list is too long, you won't read it.
(Personal experience! =) )

I like using mainly undated tasks and then opening project pages when
I want to work on something. I also like seeing what I accomplished on
any particular day, though (nice for reflecting and writing reports),
so I C-c C-c it to today (".") before I mark it completed. (Actually,
now I have code that does that automatically...)

Tasks on my day page get a lot more attention, though. I still
procrastinate (C-c C-c +2, +3), as people who read my blog can tell
you, but having a nice, short task list is really motivating, and I
love crossing things off and knowing I had a good, productive day.

Try mixing judicious procrastination with undated tasks. =)
