..= complete with blocks of Lisp code

This is a = fantastic article, with several great ideas which I would

 - Option to = automatically change a task's state when clocking into it

=  - Standardised way of estimating completion time for tasks

=  - Reviewing scheduled "load" - i.e. what percentage of a day = is
   already allocated by scheduling tasks for that = day, vs. how much
   free time there is on that day = (this would ideally take
   appointments into account = too)

 - Reviewing accuracy of initial estimates after = completion

This would be getting dangerously close to my nirvana = of time
management: an as yet hypothetical mind experiment in which = my boss
gives me a new project, asks me when it can be completed by, = and I
tell him straight away in confidence that I've committed myself = to
something entirely attainable, through knowing that I have = already
accurately scheduled time for all other tasks which need to = be
completed before then = ;-)
