Showerthought: I was using my bullet journal as a to-do list graveyard for 8 months

I finally flipped back through my old spreads and saw that 90% of the tasks I wrote down just got rewritten on the next day's page, over and over, until I gave up on them. The wake-up call was counting 14 straight days of "call the dentist" migrated forward and realizing the journal wasn't helping me, it was just hiding the fact that I never actually planned when to do anything. Has anyone else figured out a rule for when a task should just get crossed out instead of copied again?
