Lazy Meter: task scheduler in the style of the music player
Work And Study / / December 25, 2019
An integral feature of any successful person is the ability to self-organize their time. And no matter how he does it - with the help of sophisticated planning systems, or simply in the head - in any case, without a list of current and future challenges is indispensable. We have already introduced you to the many variants of such planners and they are all broadly similar to each other. However, the creators of the service Lazy Meter They claim that they have created a completely new task list. Interesting?
Despite its apparent simplicity, service work requires some explanation. In the video, you saw colored buttons similar to the controls in the music player. Here, they act as a switch between the various lists.
Play - List of tasks for today.
It added the things that you have planned to perform it today. Sort tasks can simply dragging up or down. Clicking on a list item causes extra buttons, with which you can add a comment or reminder. Tasks in this list are two ways - either they are marked as completed or postponed until later, that is, in the terminology of Lazy Meter «pause».
Pause - planned
This list contains tasks that have a specific completion date. This is indicated by the presence next to each item the date of which can be assigned or transferred by means of calendars in the upper right corner. Task from the list, you can start to perform, and it will move to the current list, or mark it as complete.
Stop - ideas
You can put their ideas and intentions, that is, the problem does not have a specific implementation period, and most appropriate under the description "... someday I will ..." If you are ripe for the task from the list, then it is possible to set a specific date and pause or a stroke executes the (Play).
Done - performed
The most enjoyable section, showing the number of completed tasks and some statistics on your productivity.
On all pages of the service there is another important element - the progress bar that displays the progress of your application. It is divided into colored sectors corresponding tasks from various lists. When transferring tasks or execution, the corresponding sector varies in size, giving a clear picture of the random access operation. The goal at the end of the day - the highest possible green sector, showing the number of completed activities.
Summing up, I want to see that the deceptively simple service Lazy Meter hides a fairly deep and interesting opportunities. A visual representation of the current challenges, a slight movement of affairs between the lists, the possibility of postponing until later, notes and Reminders - all this allows you to use the service for easy planning of even the most rich and complex projects.
