ZenTasktic implements a productivity workflow called "Assess, Decide, Do", which aims at balancing the time and energy you spend in various areas of your life, while maximizing your effectiveness.
Assess is the realm in which you, well, assess, things. You can add new items to your system (tasks, projects or ideas), you can brainstorm or archive them. Once youre satisfied with WHAT you have in mind, you can move the item in Decide.
Decide is the realm in which you, well, decide on the resources you want to allocate. You can add a context to your task, or set up a specific due date. Once youre happy with WHEN, you can move the item in Do.
Do is the realm in which youre just doing, knowing that WHAT you have to do and WHEN you have to do it are both taken care of. So you can just focus.
At any given moment, an item can be sent back and forth between realms.
Once marked as "Done", an item is added to a special collection (aptly named "Done") in Assess, from where you can unarchive the item if you want to act on it again.
Furthermore, this "dance" of tasks between realms creates specific behavioral patterns which are then analyzed by the app to generate meaningful suggestions. ZenTasktic can tell you when youre doing too much, too little, when to slow down or when youre actually in flow.
And it does that by looking at your entire workflow from Assess, through Decide, and then Do, up to eventually marking something as Done.
