number of modifications

[TMZ]

I'd like to have a rule "number of modifikations" - MLO should count, how often I change the date, name or whatever of a task.
So I could make a "procrastinate-view", in which I see tasks, I push away by changing the start date again and again for example.

Love this idea!

I have a similar view ('Task Aging') but it's based on Create Date and Modified Date  and Importance. My intent appears similar to yours, I want to know which stragglers have been around a while, and based on my result set, I change its importance. I do like the idea of a Modification count. I'd be surprised, however, if they retain that level of detail in their historical tables. Pretty cool idea though. +2

That's an interesting idea, but I see some flaws, since my updates as I do them today could be adding more information to the task, such as tracking my @WaitingFor items or adding a new idea when I do my @Write item.  To me, that's not procrastinating, that's reviewing the item and appropriately updating it.

Pro Boxing Dad, can you show me your rules for your 'Task Aging'-View?
Sounds interesting.

Hi, TMZ. I like your idea but instead of a count of modifications I
would keep a count of the number of times that a task had been saved. If
I change the start date and the due date on a task, to me that is one
mod, not two.

I would also like to point out that everyone I know ends up
overestimating how much they are going to get done tomorrow, and some of
the tasks planned for tomorrow are actually going to slide to the next
day. In my view, if you end up going in and fiddling with the parameters
of every task that has split, that means that you are taking good time
that you could use to get things done, and you are using it instead to
manage your task lists. To me, this is a big no-no. I find it important
to find a way to avoid assigning dates to my tasks and instead to manage
them based on the open/closed schedule for the task's context, the
priority (importance), and dependencies. To me, any time I find myself
changing the dates for more than two tasks I consider that my approach
to task management has failed and needs to be fixed.
