Chore manager?
Can anyone point me towards a "chore manager" tool, for Windows or as an iPhone app? What I'm looking for, in a relatively-easy-to-use tool, is that it keeps a list of chores to be done. Each chore has a priority, and that priority will be changed automatically on a specified schedule. For example, a certain task will be added in January with a low priority, say, 2 out of 10 ("don't forget this chore"). At the end of February it will start to rise, and by the end of February it will be at 4. By the end of March it's up to 7 and by mid-April it's up to 9 ("Urgent!"). For the last week of April it's at 10 ("Aieee!!!"), falls to 8 for two weeks into May ("You missed the deadline!! But you can still get it in!") and slowly tapers off ("better late than never").
Bonus points if it can also keep track of chore "dependencies" (this can't be done until that is taken care of) and chore difficulty (so if you're having a bad day you can deal with an easy task of moderate priority instead of a difficult task of high priority). And if it can do recurring tasks (e.g. need to water the plants every week, need to clean the furnace air filter every two months).
Also, long-term low-priority stuff would rise in priority by, say, 1 level every 2 months. Click on a "snooze" button and it will drop again, but only temporarily...
What I'm imagining would be a display of "things to do", sorted and colour-coded. By ticking a box or a "radio button", the display would change to show only easy-to-do tasks.
If such a thing doesn't exist and someone wants to create it, that would probably be a good thing.
