Effort

The effort property specifies the effort exerted to perform a task. Its purpose is to indicate how much difficulty I find in doing something, not necessarily how difficult the task is.

Values

5 - It challenges me and has a high potential to drain my energy.

Examples: Study a difficult topic, play chess with too much concentration, difficult workouts, read more than 50 pages of books (or with a difficult topic), etc.

4 - A classification of tasks that must be well selected. Because if there are too many of them, I will be very tired. These are usually important tasks.

Examples: Clean the house, organize workflow, make code, solve social problems, craftsmanship, etc.

3 - Medium effort, probably won’t tire me, but it takes a considerable amount of time and can’t be done automatically.

Examples: Read newsletters, write report note, do laundry, organize my room.

2 - There is some difficulty, but for me, it is easy (example are manual/automated tasks or those that are already a habit). It can include passive tasks too (like videos), etc.

Examples: Make meals, make playlists, answer people on social media.

1 - It has minimal effort, can even be completed in less than 5 minutes or is a Dionysian/rest task.

Examples: Listen to a calm music, lock house, active some gadget (like mosquitoes repellent), etc.

0 - Without a fixed value, the effort can vary from small to high values (please use this sparingly).

Examples: Moving from point A to point B, a meeting Without specific end date, etc.
