Prioritizing work and personal items from various data sources using a user profile

A computer program product embodied in a computer readable storage medium for managing work and personal items, the computer program product comprising the programming instructions for:

• receiving information to populate a user profile providing rules to determine a priority for work and personal items to be addressed;
• monitoring work and personal data sources;
• scanning content in said monitored work and personal data sources;
• analyzing said scanned content for work and personal items to be addressed;
• determining a priority for each of said work and personal items to be addressed based on said rules in said user profile;
• and
• presenting said work and personal items to be addressed to a user in a prioritized order based on said prioritization.
