I disagree about this specific example (not with your whole idea).
Reviewing tasks is important for people who can easily fall into
continuous routine. Dedicating several hours per week to look into what
you are doing in a broader perspective is valuable.

Note that I do not mean "review" as looking through _all_ the tasks.
Rather looking into current projects and deciding what to do, and, more
importantly, what not to do in the coming week/days/months.
