Can you give us a better idea of the use case? As I understand,
unprioritzed todos count as "B" by default. Since most of my tasks
have a priority of B, I've never found setting priorities to be
helpful until I sit down to review my work for the day.
I prioritize items that are important (or urgent) with A at the
beginning of the day (no more than a couple, usually). Most items are
"B" and rarely more than half of those get done.
If I want to "sink" an item but keep it scheduled, it gets a priority of "C".
These are often things I do not know when recording an item.
Interested to hear your thoughts,
Jeff
