Looks great. I especially like the idea of incrementally longer snoozing - I might have to steal that one.. > progressive deterrence for adding new items What kind of deterrence are we talking about here? I use an app for what it wasn't really designed for and has the side effect that after 9 items, stuff get hidden and cannot be shown without deleting other items. I have found it useful. Reaching 9 items becomes a real trigger to realize that I'm trying to handle too much stuff at once. |

I'm a hoarder of tiny ambitions, so my todolists are chronically growing, rather than shrinking.
The deterrence for adding new items looks like this:
n = # of currently listed items (items not done or struck as obsolete who aren't 'snoozed' for future listing)
if n > 5 { user must copy a nag text of fibbonacci(n - 5) random characters before the new item is created }
It doesn't prevent you from taking too much on, but it's a really explicit incentive to push lower urgency items out (snooze them) so that you generally are presented with a list that more or less fits in your short term memory.
