Idea Thread for NANY 2016

<< < (4/4)

dr_andus:
This might be a bit late for NANY 2016 (?) but wasn't sure where to request it.

Idea: a simple calendar app for Windows that implements the Don't Break the Chain productivity approach as follows:

* - use standard self-updating calendar in the style of Classic Calendar, showing monthly view (though ability to switch to annual view would be also nice).
* - ability to add an unlimited number of rows for tasks/projects to be ticked in the column represented by each day. This would be the competitive advantage of this software over what's on the market, as normally these types of calendars only allow for one task/project to be followed across time, when one might need several (e.g. one for work, one for exercise, one for meditation etc. etc.)
* - allow to add a big X or tick sign (with customisable colour) for each day to be ticked off, for each task/project separately.
* - ability to add a few words (or at least abbreviations) to describe the nature of the task that was accomplished that day. This could be overlayed by the X or tick sign, but still visible.
* - option to launch at system start-up or waking up
* - option to launch automatically at a predetermined time every day (or a number of times a day)
* - option to launch in fullscreen mode.
Thanks for considering.

P.S. examples of existing implementations:

* Don't Break The Chain! - online, with Google Chrome app
* Don’t Break the Chain - Jerry Seinfeld's Method for Creative Success - just a PDF file
* Chains.cc - Don't Break The Chain App - with iOS and Chrome Web Store apps

dr_andus:
Never mind re above... I've decided to create a dedicated Google Calendar for recording my Don't Break the Chain activities. While it's a bit more manual (will have to create a new entry each day for a given type of activity), the benefit is that it's mobile and cross-platform.
