and restricting information which a recipient is permitted to see and access. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further including: transmitting a notification, to a recipient, that a user has sent them information relevant to a project or task; receiving, by the recipient, the notification; displaying by a notification icon that a notification is available; and access, by the recipient, the information from a notification icon based on tapping on the notification. ### Claim 9 A computer-implemented method of display of project management timelines comprising: dragging and dropping at least one first element from a first area to a second area, the at least one first element includes at least one of a main project, a task, a business task, or a personal task; wherein the second area includes a temporal element with spiral rings, starting from a center and moving outwards over time; wherein the second area is set from at least one of an hour, a day, a week, a month, or a year; wherein the at least one first element includes a due date; wherein after the dragging and dropping, the least one first element is displayed in chronological order on the temporal element; moving the at least one first element along the temporal element based on at least one of a current time or a current date; selecting one at least one first element; accessing information contained within the at least one first element; and displaying, on a display, a task list, the task list including one or more tasks due on a particular day; determining if one task of the one or more tasks is swiped on the display; changing a translucence of the task based on the determination; and setting time parameters for time-sensitive tasks wherein a user is notified about a time-sensitive task. ### Claim 10 A system for display of project management timelines comprising: a processor; and a memory that is coupled to the processor and stores one or more computer-readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions cause, when executed by the processor, the system to: display a first temporal element with spiral rings, starting from a center and moving outwards over time; display, on a display, a task list, the task list including one or more tasks due on a particular day; determine if one task of the one or more tasks is swiped on the display; change a translucence of the task based on the determination; and set time parameters for time-sensitive tasks wherein a user is notified about a time-sensitive task. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the first temporal element includes one or more first projects disposed on the rings in chronological order of present importance, wherein each star includes a folder, and wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to: select a first project of the one or more first projects; display a page containing the selected star at the center of a temporal element with spiral rings, starting from a center and moving outwards over time, including one or more second projects disposed on the rings in chronological order of present importance, wherein each second project includes a folder; select a second project; and display a page containing the selected second project at the center of a temporal element with spiral rings, starting from a center and moving outwards over time, including one or more third project disposed on the rings in chronological order of present importance, wherein each third project includes a folder. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein at least one of comets or events, approach the center as a date draws closer. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the temporal element further includes a predetermined number of subdivisions configured to organize each star, wherein each star aligns with one of the predetermined number of subdivisions. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the third project includes at least one of contact info, contract, scope of work, upload documents, or time frame. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, further including the ability to collaborate and interact with select members within the project via email, text, video and chat by sending an entity to a recipient. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the instructions when executed further cause the system to: send at least one of videos, texts, or e-mails to at least one of an existing member or a non-member, to permit two-way collaboration and interaction between sender and recipient;

a second position; and a predetermined number of placement positions, wherein a distance between positions decreases non-linearly starting from the second position of the temporal element as the placement position approaches the first position of the temporal element. ### Claim 19 A system for display of project management timelines comprising: a processor; and a memory that is coupled to the processor and stores one or more computer-readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions cause, when executed by the processor, the system to: display a first temporal element with graphical indicia, starting from a first location of the temporal element and moving towards a second location of the temporal element over time, including one or more first elements disposed on the graphical indicia in chronological order of present importance, wherein each of the one or more first elements includes a folder; select one of the one or more first elements; display a page containing the selected one or more first elements at a particular location of a second temporal element with graphical indicia, starting from a first location of the second temporal element and moving towards a second location of the second temporal element over time, including one or more second elements disposed on the graphical indicia in chronological order of present importance, wherein each of the one or more second elements includes a folder; and display, on a display, a task list, the task list including one or more tasks due on a particular day; determine if one task of the one or more tasks is swiped on the display; change a translucence of the task based on the determination;
