One of my Litmus tests for any task management system is the ease with which it handles recurrent ‘NONK’ (next occurrence not known) tasks. We all have these, they’re those regular tasks, usually appointments, where the next occurrence isn’t known until you’ve completed the current one. Appointments with your dentist, doctor, hairdresser, vet, pet-groomer, chiropodist and so on are common examples, but I’ve been amazed how many task managers don’t make the job of creating the next one a simple task. Many’s the time I’ve been given the next available date and had to take the appointment card and do it later when I’m back at my desk because it’s just too clumsy to do it on the phone app. This is an obvious point of failure – if it’s not done there and then it’s easily forgotten.
It should be a simple job to make a copy of the current appointment then just enter the new time and date, but despite the common nature of this scenario it’s rarely catered for in an efficient and elegant way. Ideally a ‘Complete and Create Next’ button would be available straight from the reminder, but in practice it’s never that easy. How do I handle NONK tasks in MLO?
