thanks for your work on CSA Bob.. and for the explanation. I think this is a really important part of MLO to get right.. I like the concept behind CSA but just think it needs to be simplified so that users can better understand its behaviour.. mainly, I'd argue for taking out any additional boosts - either from weekly goals or when a goal approaches its deadline.. Beyond that, I think it might be worth providing some more explanation (minus the maths) about how the underlying concepts work, in particular, the importance of localised scoring and the waterfall effect whereby settings of parent tasks affect sub-tasks..And then, perhaps some guidance on the sliders.. as these are subjective measures.. I mean, what exactly does importance actually mean in relation to a task?
I don't really use the urgency slider but here's how I use the importance slider for CSA... A neutral value (MID-POINT) means that task MUST to be done in order to complete its parent. Tasks that are not essential get scored either one or two notches below. For the remainder, as all these must be done in order to complete the parent, in theory they are all equally important for that parent task. However, those tasks that have a positive impact on other tasks/goals/aims beyond the parent get scored a notch or two higher, depending on how significant this impact might be. Eg if I'm writing a few functions for a programme but one of them could be really useful elsewhere, then I give it above neutral importance. I find that if I use this method, it gives me a reaonably consistent scoring logic for importance across tasks. Does this fit with your view of how scoring should be used with CSA? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
