I like many of you spend too much time trying to figure out why some low-priority brainstorming task has showed up near the top of my task list or why something I absolutely need to do now is languishing at the bottom. I am slowly learning how to get this right but it's a slow, time-consuming process. I could probably learn it faster if I could read the code, but I understand that's not an option.
Several suggestions have been made in this forum about ways to make this process more intuitively transparent, and they have led to more angry posts than anything else. I guess the discussion could be summarized by saying that what's intuitive to one person is counter- intuitive to another. Okay, so I'm NOT proposing any changes to the algorithm. It's established and many of you have adjusted your thought processes to match. But I think it could be made easier to figure out. The TASK STATISTICS display is a start - it shows the values of the IMPORTANCE and URGENCY sliders and a combined value. My request is that this display be expanded to show *everything* else that affects the order of the tasks - a score for the start date, the weighting factor for start date from the options page, the resulting weighted chore for start date, the same for due date, goals, flags, stars, project percent complete, task depth in outline, and whatever else, and then finally a composite weighted score. Is this the same as "computed score"? I don't know. But the idea is that if task A is showing above task B in my task list I should be able to look at task statistics for both and Task A should *always* have a higher score than task B, and I should be able to use the breakdown to understand exactly why. I've added this to "uservoice" - please give me one of your votes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
