Great idea. Definitely agree. This is a big problem for me. The weightings for start and due date are misleading in that they suggest you can actually nullify the effect of a start date. In actual fact, if you enter a start date you put the calculatation into what amounts to 'egg-timer' mode for that task. Your score depends on the amount of time that has passed since the start date, as a proportion of total time for the task (due date less start date). By contrast, a task without a start date is scored on a time-to-deadline basis.
If I micro-managed my life and had masses of spare time to manage my tasks, this would be OK I guess, but I'm very busy most of the time and I have many, many tasks in MLO. In most cases my start date simply signifies when a task becomes viable, or simply when I expect or want to start it. I really don't want to be scored using this start date at all. The only time that is really important to me is how long until the due date. A tickbox next to the Start Date slider in the weightings section which renders it useless and enforces scoring on a time-to-deadline basis for all tasks (ie assumes that a start date has not been set) would work really well I think. I might even be able to start properly understanding and using the computed score priority. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
