Yes I understand quite well what you mean saying that we can like to
psychologically turn off the events as DONE: I had to do it, I did it
and I re-check that I am sure that I did it...

And you're right saying that it is a practical case: we (3 assistant
professors) enter each course or lab into our personnal chandler. It
makes let's say 4 or 5 events per week. This are particular events: if
we miss this event, the students will come in our office and we are
dead :p So we are stressed about the fact that these events cannot be
forgotten and we check, re-check in our chandler when our courses and
labs will appear in the next days. That's the way chandler help us to
be aware of our incoming courses... When the date of the course is in
the past, we are 100% sure we DID the task/event. That's the reason we
would be happy to come back to our office and to see chandler saying
"ok boy, you're done with this course; let's prepare the next ones...".
