Concept

Type of Reminder (What a To-Do: Studies of Task Management Towards the Design of a Personal Task List Manager)

  • Task urgency not related to any one kind of reminder medium
  • To-do lists used more in longer study: pos. association with importance, neg. association with being completed in a week --> so, more important to-dos placed on lists to avoid being overlooked
  • Email, print-out, paper note, and object to-dos found to be less important on average
  • NO reminder exhibited a strong, positive correlation with completion in one week (but not significantly correlated with task importance)
  • No overall statistical relationship between task completion and reminder medium (except object reminders: significantly less likely to be done)
