While John Wiegley may be sad to hear it, I don't ever worry about the
deadlines in Planner mode.  (setq planner-carry-tasks-forward t)
makes sure the pesky things follow me where ever I go.

I use my planner pages in a somewhat similar manner - as a personal
log of what I am doing.  For each planner note gets a heading in both
my Daily page and my ProjectPage.  This duplication means that I can
remember what I have done by project or by day.  Sacha uses a pretty
similar system on her blog.  

The best thing about planner is being able run
planner-remember-from-buffer and have links to the buffer show up in
my log.  Then I have a hyper-referenced list of what I was working on.
 
Planner has a lot of nice add ons to emacs-wiki that make keeping a
personal log a lot easier. 

Cheers,  Jody
