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".
Most of my todos are neither associated with deadlines nor are they scheduled. Schedules and deadlines have seemed a more time-intensive way to go relative to setting priorities (but perhaps this is a 'Green Eggs and Ham' thing?)
These are often things I do not know when recording an item.
I guess the main difference is that I generally am typically able to recognize, when recording a todo, whether it's in the 'urgent/asap' pile (A), the 'try-and-get-it-done-sometime-soon' pile (B), or in a 'sure-would-be-nice-to-get-it-done' pile (C). Given that, it seemed both logical and more efficient to immediately prioritize the item rather than going back later and prioritizing the item.
Thanks for any additional thoughts/suggestions... - Alan
