Yes! Even if only for my personal tasks, yes! Subtasks with intelligent dependencies, durations, and maybe top level item prioritization... I'd give up my hand rolled Google sheets idea in a heartbeat.

Bingo... one of my favorite quotes, that I try to live up to as best I can: "Be miserable. Or be motivated. Whatever's next, it's your choice." and "Whether you think you can't, or think you can, you're ri
