Time calculation total
Max Stavisuk
When few tasks are selected and have min and Max times entered, would
be great if sum if Max time and min time is shown somewhere.this way
it would be possible to plan a day.
Example could be Excel: when few values are selected, sum is shown in
the status bar.

It would really make planning much more efficient.

This kind of feature would be terrific!

There has been much debate about this over the last few years.
There are those of us who would like MLO to have something (‘Gantt chart’, ‘Calendar’ , ‘Thing’) which helps us see/calculate/visualise what work we have got coming up so that we can see whether we are overloaded or not and whether we are going to meet our deadlnies; and those who don’t (it seems) have this problem (they don’t have deadlines?) who feel that this would be a ‘bridge too far’ and that MLO should just stick with helping us decide what task should we should do next.
Whilst I agree these are not easy problem to solve (am I overloaded or not; when can I get this job done by, etc), the value of being able to see something that provides some indication of this would be to my mind extremely useful as we already have most of the information entered, it is ‘just’ a question of finding a way of displaying this information

estimation) have been raised over the years. And so frustrating how
the suggestions get repeatedly ignored or shot down with "bridge-too-
far" or "MLO is an outliner only and should stay so" arguments.
Lack of any workload estimation functionality is the main reason why
I've given up on MLO (found I can tweak OneNote to my requirements
better). I still hope this will be addressed at some point though
(which is why I keep reading the forum).

concern that adding such a capability would add significantly to the
complexity of the product whilst not actually solving the underlying
requirement.
I feel sure that the problem can be solved and in a way that fits with the
MLO philosophy of providing a set of tools which can be used in a variety of
different ways but I can also see that it is not easy problem to solve.
I think a key element should be that the new facilities should not intrude
on the existing capabilities so that those who do not want such a facility
will not be encumbered by it.
If you have any specific ideas - particularly, some small simple steps that
would deliver some useful improvements (perhaps along the lines that have
already been suggested), I would suggest that now would be good a time to
put them forward.
How are you using One Note to forward plan your work?

Calendar/workload-estimation features have been discussed more than
enough already. You've been on this forum long enough to know that :)
We really don't need to be going through ideas again. Enough posts
have been written about this to kick-start things. Unfortunately,
there has never been any willingness by the development team to look
into the requests.
Just looking through my profile I can see a few posts / suggestions I
started plus a few I added my voice to:
1. Display the total of all "time required for this task" values for a
group in to-do view. (http://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/
browse_thread/thread/19ba18c5e321ade4/b999d03b23fc80a3?q=)
2. Feature request - maximum-workload constraint.(http://
groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/browse_thread/thread/
e8e088b0ffd0d23/fb0de173d7bd651?q=)
3. Feature request - update "time required for this project" as task
are completed (http://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/
browse_thread/thread/34d4b031c44f28d/15378ad93e9b8905?q=)
4. Calendar: (http://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/
browse_thread/thread/4756e00b5827d78a/ebede88c475720fa?q=)
5. Calendar wars (http://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/
browse_thread/thread/7a4d7b1c10dc530e/695588a597735757?q=)
6. Calendar for MLO (http://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/
browse_thread/thread/62a4adf208400087/8b30c3e5c0a897ff?q=)
I'm sure there are many more posts on the subject. IMO, we don't need
yet another thread discussing details. Maybe if the developers showed
a hint of interest that would make sense. Otherwise it's just a waste
of time, if you ask me. Or maybe I'm just a disillusioned user :)
As for One Note, nothing beats its feature set for keeping and
organizing copious amounts of information. It's an amazing outliner as
well (the ability to roll up several pages of information into a
nicely ordered overview outline with a simple double-click is a
Godsend). Plus I can just flag any item as a calendar event with a key
shortcut and have a corresponding Outlook even created automatically.
I then drag it to the required size (15mins, 2h, half a day etc.) and
can see straight away how my workload is looking and whether I've got
any free time left or I'm overcommiting myself. I try to get back to
MLO sometimes but find that, overall, OneNote allows me to manage my
workload much much better. I work with IT projects and need to be able
to not only manage tasks but also easily store screenshots, embed
documents, tag things for easy retrieval etc. Plus of course visualize/
manage my workload. Can't do that with MLO unfortunately.

I think MLO would be greatly improved if it had a gantt option. I think it is very difficult to see things in context otherwise. The thought of having to take it all into excel is a bit of a faff.
