I have severe ADHD and have had dozens of closed head injuries. So, I have wicked time estimating how long tasks will take. Being able to analyze discrepancies between my estimate and actual times would help me retrain my brain in many useful ways. Honestly, that feature would be a game changer and possibly a life saver for someone like me.

Thanks for considering it, Luke.

End of the day evaluation

Similar to that app Super Productivity, i'd love for there to be a button that is available at the end of the day that ends the day. Reflects on what is done. Lists the tasks that arent done and asks if I want to roll them over to the next day or delete some or mark some as done. All in the goal of making sure that no task is left behind.

My only dislike about a full planned/actual (which I used to do and then abandoned) is that it’s inefficient — it usually requires additional data entry.

To achieve a similar effect without regular additional data entry I started using time targets. Time targets are the average number of hours each day I want to spend in certain task categories. It represents how I want to spend my time in general. In building my daily schedule, I try to meet those time targets to maximize my progress, happiness, and intentionality.

Knowing that I’m failing to schedule my time intentionally is just as important as seeing exactly how my day actually panned out (a simple solution for the latter could be a daily/weekly/monthly completion percentage metric). Meanwhile time targeting brings me closer to achieving intentionality. It would be a dream to have an optional dropdown row just beneath the task bucket on schedule view that displays the +\- in hours for each task category/folder and calendar name.

I should add, offering to adjust other tasks that might be next, is a task takes longer or shorter, would be a bonus.

Yes, keeping track of time spent is probably more important than lists and plans. Good intentions not completed, and not being able to know how you actually spend time, renders planning far short of what it needs to be.
