My assumption is they can’t adjust on the fly because they don’t know which items have a specific time they must be done, like an appointment or meeting, vs a todo item that happened to get a time block associated with it. They also don’t know which items can simply be dropped if time becomes a factor.

I tried Structured and gave up on it almost immediately due to the rigidness. Some people can follow a calendar that closely, but I’m not one of those people.

I put items that must happen at a certain time in my calendar. Everything else is a todo item. If I want to, I could schedule blocks of time on my calendar for working on the todo items. During that block of time, I’d work off the todo list, not the calendar. If the time isn’t important, and the tasks just need to be done in order, then why force an artificial time into the mix? It seems like needless complexity.

I see, so the mix of calendar and todos is more practical than live updates scheduling.
