Abstract: A system for aiding a student define, plan and/or execute tasks related to homework. The system provides user interfaces that guide the student through processes of defining tasks, scheduling work time to complete tasks and tracking progress against completing the tasks. The system may plan time for completing tasks during the scheduled work time and may update the plan as tasks change, work time changes or estimates of time require to complete each task are updated based on progress information. The system may also aid the user in executing the tasks by sending notifications to the user of planned start times for work on tasks and by automatically blocking distractions during work times.
