Group and individual time management tools study.pdf

People use a combination of tools, including human memory, to manage their time
Raises a comparison between tools and modalities on factors such as:
- Accessibility (human memory is instantaneous)
- Reliability
- Amount of information
- Structure and flexibility
- Record of changes
  - Cross out
- Implicit information (e.g., meeting duration)
May not be possible to have an 'all-in-one' solution
Premature commitment as a harm
Other research focuses on requirements of (typically electronic systems), which does not align with typical scenarios where people use multiple systems

Sometimes todo items are just cues
Sometimes todos are used to gauge amount of work needed
Todos don't all get done, get deferred
Multiple level of abstraction
Some requirements on todo apps
- Seems like trying to minimize the 'bad'. What if we just emphasize the good? Assume that people will use multiple systems, so integrate with those?
Several strategies for task management
- Task vista: capture everything needed for task completion
  - Sometimes updated as needed, or entirely replaced as perception of task changes
- Priority lists, maybe an (implicit) expectation that tasks won't be completed, so captures priority
- State tracking, like commits on a repo. Shows history of changes
- Time management
  - For those short on time (e.g., me in second year)
  - Aims to notice time commitments now, avoid surprises later
  - Protect time slots for things that need to get done
- Value extension
  - Prioritizing tasks that have the most benefit
  - "We're leveraging this work across several projects"
Social aspects to task management
- Dealing with important others: prioritize task to move things along
  - Some kind of prioritization based on expected outcome
- Dealing with unreliable others: Get confirmation and prepare to follow up

Guided therapy prompts
maybe our capstone could have something guided based on what the user enters
- Noun, verb, adjective recognition

"mHealth Apps", term to search
No empirical evidence for apps
Many apps don't even offer evidence-based treatment processes
Some existing rating systems for finding good apps
Authors highlight 3 potential uses for apps
- unsupported: stand-alone, unrelated to other forms of care
- supported: used explicitly in conjunction to other care, under guidance of therapist
- Blended: in context of traditional care, alongside

Questions
- See if alternatives exist
- Plan for updates
- Is a smartphone app really the best form?
