Hey Michael, It's actually pretty simple. The sub-task having its own importance/urgency actually increases or decreases overall importance/urgency relative to the parent. It is very clever. Imagine a task dear to your heart: "Improve my relationship with my wife" and then as a subtask you have: "Buy her a gift". Given that buying your wife a gift contributes to improving your relationship with her, it wouldn't make sense if "Buy her a gift" wouldn't stand out from the other mundane tasks by virtue of it having "Improve my relationship with my wife" as a parent.
By extension, some subtasks are more important/urgent than others relative to the parent itself. "Find quality time to spend with my wife" is going to beat "Buy my wife a gift" everytime relative to "Improve my relationship with my wife". You want that to reflect in the computed-score. I hope that helps! Matthieu On Monday, August 29, 2022 at 10:02:22 PM UTC+2 [email protected] wrote: > In my quarterly wish-list I’m going to suggest (for me) that sub-tasks not > look to the parent.
