I feel as if I have tried near every to-do, GTD, or similar type app on the desktop and web and there is one feature that is always, without fail, missing and one that usually is.
The first is the ability to allot to a task how long it should take (E.g. Buy milk - 15m, Create wireframe for client x - 30m). The only place I have ever seen it, as far as I can recall, is Action Method.
The second is the one you mentioned.
Admittedly they are both quite similar though there is a distinct difference in usage.
- losvedir 15y agoNot to be "that guy", but have you tried org-mode? It has an "effort estimate"[1] feature, which lets you estimate how long you think a task will take. It's also got good time clocking features, so you can compare how close you were. I don't use it to estimate my effort, so not sure how effective or useful it is in practice.

- dorian-graph 15y agoI've actually never heard of org-mode before. :) In order to use it, how well versed does one need to be in Emacs?
- losvedir 15y agoHm. I'd have to say "somewhat well versed". org-mode was actually the catalyst that made me switch to using emacs, and the learning curve is on the steeper side. The time to overcome the learning curve may not be worth it only for org-mode, but if you were interested in checking out emacs in its own right, org-mode is a darn good reason to! :-)
