System and method for managing data within a calendaring framework

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program to schedule tasks within a calendaring framework, the computer program being executed by a computer and comprising:

• computer-readable code to receive task data associated with a plurality of categories, each category having a relative category priority, the task data comprising a plurality of tasks, wherein a plurality of action items are associated with each task in the plurality of tasks, each action item associated with one task identifies conduct to perform in order to accomplish the associated task, each task in the plurality of tasks having a task prioritization value and each action item having an action item prioritization value;
• computer-readable code to assign a completion time for each action item, the completion time being an estimate of an amount of time needed to complete the corresponding action item;
• computer-readable code to receive time slot data from a user interface, the time slot data designating one or more time slots within the calendaring framework and associating each designated time slot with at least one category out of the plurality of categories;
• and
• computer-readable code to schedule each task within the one or more designated time slots, the scheduling being based on the relative category priority, the task prioritization value and the action item prioritization value, wherein scheduling occurs in a forward temporal order in descending order of priority and wherein the designated time slot within the calendaring framework is capable of expanding in order to accommodate displaying each of the action items associated with the scheduled task assigned to the time slot.

A computer-implemented method of providing a calendaring framework, the method comprises:

• providing task data distributed into one or more tasks that are each associated with one category out of a plurality of categories, each category having a relative category priority, wherein each task includes a task prioritization value, each task includes a listing of a plurality of action items, each action item including an action item prioritization value and an estimated completion time, and each action item identifies conduct to perform in order to accomplish the associated task;
• providing time slot data, the time slot data defining one or more time slots within the calendaring framework and associating at least one category out of the plurality of categories to at least one time slot;
• and
• executing instructions of the computer-implemented method via a processing unit to receive a populated calendaring framework that is populated with action items based on an action item location determination, the action item location determination determining a location for each action item within the one or more time slots based on the relative category priority, the action item prioritization value and the estimated completion time, wherein determining the location for each action item occurs in a forward temporal order in descending order of priority, wherein the time slot within the calendaring framework is capable of expanding in order to accommodate displaying each of the action items associated with the time slot.
