What’s with What’s Next?

There’s a time for planning and a time for doing. MasterList Professional is designed to make it easier to do both these things, and to switch as needed from one to the other.

The What’s Next? Section of the Home tab, and the What’s Next? Screen in the System Tray tool are there to make it as easy as programmatically possible to get on with the doing of completing tasks from your Current List. With a single click, you can complete a task, garner its Productivity Points and move on to the next thing on your list.

One change I’m planning to make before I release MasterList Professional is to make What’s Next not quite so easy. In the current build, a single click and the task is marked complete, and disappears. That’s just a little too fast. So, because you might have clicked the wrong task, or decide that you’re not quite done with that task, I’ll be changing the behavior so that completed What’s Next Tasks stick around until you move to another section of MasterList Professional.
