This possible mini-project is about the perfect semantic task manager. Your brain, as a knowledge worker, is your capital. How to use it best to accomplish your goals?
We brainstormed about this at lunch yesterday and came up with a number of ideas:
- the planner schould distinguish between "easy tasks" that can be done just after lunch, when you're tried and tasks that require you to be very fit.
- if you have two tasks with a deadline in two weeks, and each tasks requires 1 week of work, then the planner should not allow you to schedule more tasks
- tasks might have dependencies
- you can work more than usual - but only for a week, otherwise you might burn out
- you have diverse goals to reach
- sometimes new tasks pop-up suddenly and disturb your plan
- some tasks might get postponed again and again - the planner should tell you that
- you should become better and better in estimating task duration
- /!\ users hate to enter too much data
Where is the sweet spot of data entry/user interface and the benefit to maximally use your brain?
