Hello Dwight, thanks for your answer, but the main problem with that approach is that in a main task list I will have to start ignoring tasks that have a due date (even if very in the future). For me, if a task has a due date then it must stand out in the task list so I can make sure that I'm doing the right things. If I start ignoring a few due dates here and there, its easy to start ignoring a few other ones (call it procrastination).
