I wrote my own FVP prioritizer and found it reduces overwhelm and encourages me to prioritize self-care and communication more highly.
I don’t stick with most scheduling apps because my main goal with task prioritization is to reduce overwhelm and figure out how to sequence my decisions. FVP is nice because it doesn’t involve figuring out a big, complicated app, and it gives a specific structure for sequencing things.
There are features FVP needs that are easy to do on paper but need specific implementation on a computer.
Task add/delete and undo/redo features usable during the prioritization session
Choosing to do a task immediately
Reprioritizing the undone tasks
Putting a task on and off the “backburner”—I want to be able to dump every thing I might conceivably want to do into a list without any discrimination whatsoever, then during prioritization, say “this task isn’t going to get done in this FVP session but I want to keep track of it for later”
The ability to “upweight” items I’ve been neglecting in some fashion. For example, tagging an item such that the app will nag me a little bit to get it done when I try to prioritize something else instead.
