#22I think one other feature that's missing from the article is the ability to map multiple blocks of time to a task.

#23Are these just mockups? This is a wonderful idea.

#24I can't even find a calendar that lets me enter where I'm leaving from to get to an event and where I'm heading after it to add the travel time automatically, with a specified margin of error. Much less can I export the details of my activity from my smart watch or my web browsing history so I can easily review my day and figure out what happened and why. Calendars suck at being calendars. We're not even close to rea…
Clockwise gets the closest I've seen to the travel time piece specifically.

#25This post makes me recall the Lifestreams work to build a time-based UX. https://youtu.be/Ioki1q6yCok
At current, using Org-Agenda does a lot to integrate my schedule, TODO list, notes, and links to other documents & media from one place.

#26Time and space are constants of everyone's life. You're always somewhere at some time. I've been dreaming of a centralized time & space view layer for years. Something that ingests all this data we have at our fingertips. This article gets really close to what I've imagined. Add in a map and you're able to correlate all sorts of behavior in order to understand yourself and the human condition so much better.
P.S. I'm totally open to hacking out an MVP with someone if this post resonates strongly with you.

#27I like this. Tempted to build it. The lack of travel time support in GCal also bothers me. It already knows where I am and where I'm going, it should be able to block that off. And the time zone support is weak too. Planning a vacation in another country? Good luck understanding what time anything is at without manually switching timezones in the settings over and over.

#28> Notes are just emails to your future self. Emails are just tasks. And tasks are just calendar events
So, Notes are Tasks and Calendar Events? The author must be taking different kinds of notes than I do.
Re: Multi-Layered Calendars
#29This is articulated perfectly. I manually add unplanned events to my calendar after they have happened, like dinners, cinema, other things that I consider 'memorable', so that my calendar has more detailed texture to it.
If other data that is being collected anyway could enrich the calendar in exactly this way, it would be amazing.

I’ve had a lot of these thoughts when working on markwhen. It’s basically turning into a calendar and planning IDE, pretty excited about where it’s heading.
