I know someone that this would be perfect for, but sadly too niche to have survived. It's a neat idea being able to get little "tickets" for various daily tasks for those that do better with those types of things compared to using a digital calendar

In the related world of task management at work, this reminds me of Walt Disney World’s “Cast Deployment System.” 20 years ago, it worked entirely on desktop PCs connected to standard thermal receipt printers. It would print and cut a little slip when you clocked in, showing you who to bump and where, and you’d hand the slip to them, because it also had printed where that person should go (their break timing, or to return to PC themselves). If they didn’t need you to assume a position just yet, it would give you a task to perform - e.g. “straighten plush in Store X until 9:08” or “sweep floor in Store Y until 9:10” - thus ensuring certain tasks got done on a regular basis without it being something a manager would have to constantly monitor. All of this was like science fiction to me in those days compared to anything else I’d witnessed in the entry-level service sector.

Note: no idea how it has evolved over the years but I’m sure “something something app” sums it up
