Thesis Title
Masters' Degree in Informatics Engineering Dissertation System of Automatic Recommendation and Prioritization of Tasks JoséPedro Santana Saraiva [email protected] Advisor : Alexandre Pinto June 2014 UNIVERSIDADE DE COIMBRA Abstract Faculdade de Ciênciase Tecnologia Departamento de Engenharia Informática Master's Degree Thesis System of Automatic Recommendation and Prioritization of Tasks by JoséPedro Santana Saraiva Most people have many different tasks, goals, projects, interests and responsibilities in life, and in the fast paced world we live in today, all of these grow in number and diversity all the time. This rising in complexity and quantity of matters to handle makes it progressively harder to make intuitive choices about which task to execute next. We developed a prototype application for helping the user in managing and prioritizing his tasks, guaranteeing an alignment with his goals and deadlines. Our application follows a variation over the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology but also includes benefits from other complementary approaches, such as goal cascading and dynamic prioritization. Keywords: GTD, Prioritization of Tasks, Recommendation of Tasks, Hierarchization of Objectives, Personal Productivity |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||- Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to acknowledge my immense gratitude to my advisor Prof. Alexandre Pinto for all the guidance and knowledge provided, for the patience and availability shown since the start of this thesis and for his motivational words provided in hard times. I also would like to acknowledge the Cognitive and Media Systems Group for providing me shelter and allowing me to use their resources. Last but not least, I am truly grateful for the support that my beloved family has given throughout my studies, especially my parents and grandparents for their relentless support, belief and comprehension, and my gratitude to all my friends who played an essential role during this period of my life.

Apps to Support Executive Functioning
Apps to support Executive Functioning Executive Functioning is the mental process that allows us to remember things, remain on task, keep tasks organized, monitor your work and performance, remain focused on tasks, keep schedules, etc. Basically many of the things most of us take for granted as we juggle most of these tasks in our head each day. However, for individuals with weak executive functioning skills life can seem disordered, plans and assignments forgotten, meetings missed and simple tasks such as remembering where to turn in an assignment...forgotten. These apps assist with various aspects, from timers that remind to move on to the next project, audio prompts along with an associated picture of what else needs to be done, to calendars, homework trackers and more.

The Effective Executive Assistant a Guide to Creating Long‐Term Career Success
The Effective Executive Assistant A Guide to Creating Long‐Term Career Success Discover your potential. Chrissy Scivicque OfficeArrow.com Last updated: 6/2008 A Message from the Author… Dear Readers, I am so happy you decided to purchase this e‐book, The Effective Executive Assistant. Consider this your first step towards achieving the long‐term career success you’ve been dreaming about. Let’s face it, being an Executive Assistant isn’t about money or glamour. It’s about providing valuable support to a person and an organization you believe in. One thing is for sure: being an EA is a unique position and it takes a unique set of skills to achieve long‐ term success. It isn’t easy and it isn’t always fun. But, with the right tools, it can be a fulfilling and rewarding experience. It does take a commitment on your part, though. You must have a drive to succeed. You must want to constantly improve your abilities. This position is always changing. New technology and changes in business practices force EAs to remain flexible and level‐headed, even in the face of chaos. So what makes me an expert? Well, I was an Executive Assistant for many years and I was great at my job. I loved it so much, I was inspired to start my website, The Executive Assistant’s Toolbox, which is where this e‐book was originally published. In March of 2008, EA Toolbox merged with OfficeArrow.com and today, I am the Senior Content Manager for OfficeArrow. I still love to write about my experiences as an EA and share what I know with others.

Factsheet: Time Management
Time Management For Councillors Councillors face multiple demands on their time, these helpful tips are aimed at supporting you to effectively manage your time to avoid unnecessary stress or anxiety. Top Tips 1. Work out your goals Advice from an Occupational Health Therapist: "Work out who you want to be, your priorities in life, and what you want to achieve in your career or personal life. That is then the guiding principle for how you spend your time and how you manage it." Once you have worked out the big picture, you can then work out some short-term and medium-term goals, helping you to plan and focus better. 2. Make a list To-do lists are a good way to stay organised. It could be a single to-do list, a daily or weekly plan. The aim to help you prioritise and avoid losing track of tasks. Make sure you keep your list somewhere accessible. If you always have your phone, for example, keep it on your phone. 3. Focus on results Good time management at work means doing high-quality work, not high quantity: concentrate not on how busy you are, but on results. Be mindful that an extra hour on something late at night when you’re tired, may not be as effective as ten minutes the following morning. 4. Have a break Lots of people do not take a break for lunch, but that can be counter-productive. Taking a 30 minute break from your work will help you to be more effective in the afternoon.

Are You Ready For
Are you ready for... LEARNING ZONE – ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE Academic success has many moving parts and each of the areas are linked together to create a total action plan.

The link below will take you to a survey to see where you are spending your time? https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/academics/advising/Section5ExploratoryandGateway/time.htm Any surprises after taking the survey? What changes do you want to make? Less time gaming? More sleep? Less social time? Study more? The decision is yours. Now, we will look at some strategies to help you use your time more wisely. What are key steps for successful time management? You may know the tasks you need or want to do. Sometimes it may seem hard to get started creating an action plan. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrERYg6t6NM on successful time management. TIME TO START... Time management can feel a bit overwhelming. Let’s focus on one of the key components of organization, the management of your calendar. If you can learn to manage your day and schedule, your schedule won’t manage you; you will ultimately accomplish more throughout the day and hopefully feel less stress. Realize that time management and organization are not the same as multitasking. Many students think they can and should multitask, but it’s not necessarily a good thing. One definition of multitasking is doing two things at once by taking twice as long to do them, half as well.
