Wow. It's nice to see extensive planning like that. I usually just throw anything that seems like an important idea into a text file on the assumption that it'll be fully hashed out during production at a later time. That method entails far less work, with the caveat of occasionally wondering if you're delusional from time to time.
In any case, good luck. I hope you kick ass. If Microsoft employs their usual design aesthetic, doing so should be very possible.

I had to think it through in one single chunk. The app combines four intersecting concepts: 1. Infinite timeline with addressable days. 2. Recurring tasks that support this infinite timeline. 3. First-class subtasks, which have all properties of normal tasks. 4. Contexts, which hide tasks from the list based on certain conditions. I simply couldn't create a working mental model that accounts for all possible interplay of these concepts without speccing it out in advance.
