Task projection splitting
Jack Mitchell
I think the task projection could be really powerful, but I would really like more control over whether it splits tasks up or not and how it splits them. I frequently have a bunch of shorter tasks that it would be great to clump together, but they get spread out in my day and then tasks that have to be done as a block get split up. I would love an option to have the system not split tasks up, or only to split tasks up based on subtask length, or some way to set a minimum size projection if it is splitting a task. I'm getting 15 minute tasks that are split in to a 5 minute and 10 minute task and am spending more time rearranging things and pinning things that I would like to....

That's interesting. I have the opposite concern and experience. Task ordering allows me to group small tasks together, but I would like the option to intentionally break up bigger/longer tasks into multiple work sessions in a day when I plan the day. Having a feature that allows you to tell the app whether you want a task to be broken into multiple sessions would make the task projection feature even better. It is already phenomenal. But I agree that if you could tell the app a bit more about how you want tasks to be spread out, it would be even better .

Ashleigh HaroldThat's where I would love to see it split a big task based on the subtasks I have created. If I ruled the world No subtasks = indivisible item. Do not split. Subtasks = split into chunks based on these subtasks in the order that the subtasks are listed in the task. Bonus, that would encourage me to split big tasks into subtasks because it would make the scheduling work better.

Right now, I would love an option to prevent tasks being split. Down the road, I would love an option to only split tasks to project two subtasks separately. It's really not a good sense of how much time I have if a task that really can't be done in separate sessions gets split up to fill in a small gap. I would rather see that I don't have enough time to do things because I have too many long tasks and they won't all fit into the time allotted. Then I can move some of them to other days and let other tasks fill in
