I agree with you on that, I was only suggesting using priorities as a
technical means to label certain tasks as "to do today" in a way which
is easy in org-mode.

As I said, my reason for scheduling certain tasks as "for today", is
that I like to have a plan of what to do each day.  Without an
explicit plan, I catch myself scanning my todo list many times during
a day, effectively wasting time on recreating the same plan many times.
But I've tried it only for a week now, so I can't say whether it works.

Thanks,
Piotr
