US 2012/0239451 A1 · CALENDAR BASED TASK AND TIME MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS

Abstract

A software solution for managing, sorting and ranking lists of tasks and integrating task and time management, such that tasks can be automatically or manually assigned to specified time blocks. Users can monitor the relationship between volume of tasks and available time in which to complete them. The solution and method can be applied to individual task lists as well as to the management of time across multiple projects and can be employed either by individuals or by collaborative groups. The solution and method employ multiple filters, sorts and handling rules to embody users' personal planning preferences. It can be used to manage task lists both with and without employing a scheduling component. The solution can interoperate with existing computer- and web-based calendar software and can use third-party calendar clients to display its output and to accept input from users.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method for organizing task records comprising:

storing a superset of said task records on a database, wherein said task records include task attributes;
defining queries, said queries parsing said task records in said superset based on said task attributes;
configuring at least one processor(s) to perform steps of:
producing a first task subset, said first task subset including said tasks where said task attributes fulfill said queries;
and
producing a first remainder task subset, said first remainder task subset including all said task records where said task attributes do not fulfill said queries.
