Subject: Setting total effort of a task vs. the daily effort
Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:45:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C075DB6.7030707@oracle.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I've just recently started using org-mode (but I've been using Emacs
for a very long time) and find it very useful for planning the daily work.
Quite often I have tasks that are more than a day, and I want to plan
the total effort for the task and still plan for how many hours I want
to work on it a specific day.
If the task had a natural split, I could easily create different
subtasks and set the effort for those, but in many cases, there are
tasks that do not have a natural split into subtasks.
When planning the week, it is not easy to see how to allocate such a
task over the week since whatever day I place it on it will take up
two days of effort.
Apart from splitting such a task into subtasks, is there a way to both
set a total amount of work and spread it out over several days by
setting the number of hours for each day?
Best wishes,
Mats Kindahl
