I look at it as an encouragement to plan ahead. To offset any urge to leave a task undone, try creating a speedy completion habit: + for finishing a yellow to-do. For consequence, someone suggested you could use the minus - for not doing a dark red to-do (or a to-do with a due date).

Potentially relevant: Warriors & mages with sufficient mana can use it to reduce the task's value, and turn a to-do that's not yet due to blue to allow it to increase value at a more appropriate speed.
