Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a method to organize and track information such as things-to-do. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method to organize things-to-do according to follow up dates and priorities.
- the present invention is a method to track information such as a person or a company's name, telephone number, follow up dates, priority, and task number.
- a person may use the present invention to easily and quickly store, track, retrieve, and sort the information.
- the method to organize and track information sort the information base on the follow up date, priority, and task number and allow a person to make critical decisions base on the information sorted in accordance with the criteria desired by the person.
- Figure 1 is a flowchart that shows the method to organize and track information such as things-to-do.
- the preferred embodiment of the method to organize and track information is shown in Figure 1 and comprises the steps of inputting information, such as a person or a company's name, telephone number, follow up dates, priority, and task number, into appropriate fields in a database, querying the database, retrieving the records that match the query criteria, sorting the retrieved records based on the follow up date, priority, and task number, and presenting the sorted records for viewing.
- information such as a person or a company's name, telephone number, follow up dates, priority, and task number
- This method allows a person to make efficient critical decisions based on the information presented.
- Information such as a person or a company's name, telephone number, follow up dates, and priority, is gathered and the information is assigned a sequential task number. These information are entered into appropriate fields in a record in the database.
- the records in the database may be sorted using any field as the index.
- the database may also be sorted using one field as the primary index and another field as the secondary index to further organize and sort the records.
- the follow up date field is used as the primary index
- the priority field is used as the secondary index.
- the task number field is used as the third index to avoid duplicate keys which may cause key violations in the database.
- the task number is assigned permanently to a record, and when a record is deleted the task number field for the remaining records will not be renumbered. When a new record is added, the new record will be assigned the next available task number.
- the user may query the database to obtain the information he/she needs.
- One method of query may be locating records with follow up dates prior to the date of query or a particular desired date. This query will allow the user to locate past due follow up dates that require immediate action.
- the user may also query the database for specific information in any particular field in the records.
- Another useful query that the user may perform is to locate records with follow up dates between two specified dates. This query will allow the user to plan his/her schedules and the necessary actions that must be taken within a specified period of time.
- the records are retrieved and sorted in accordance with the requirements of the user. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the final sorted records are presented to the user on a video screen for viewing. The user may then make efficient critical decisions based on the information presented.
