Reply to LPT: Use your calendar as your to-do list. Assigning dedicated time to tasks increases the likelyhood of you acting upon it. by human_marketer

Is there some app that combines a standard checklist and an hourly agenda? As in, I would like to be able to make a checklist, but give each item a duration, and then block them out into my calendar. Everything I find either uses fixed 30-minute blocks on the calendar (Google Tasks), or has no integration with a checklist at all. All of my tasks can be in a checklist, but not all of them necessarily fit onto a calendar or need to be scheduled right away, and having the two lists separated drives me crazy.

Lol. Same item for me and about half of my questions were answered wrongly.

Is there only one? Yes. Is it famous? Yes. Is it naturally-occurring? No. Is it bigger than a person? Yes. Is it made of metal? Yes.

I thought it was some famous building. Weird that the category was food, but ok.

While the actual manufacture is indeed limited by the real world, we shouldn't gloss over the fact that simulations (and AI/machine learning has already demonstrated that in some cases it can simulate complex scenarios faster than traditional slow, Finite-element algorithms) and digital design (CAD, aided by genetic algorithms, etc) can help us speed through a lot of the steps that traditionally could only be done in 'meat space'.

Right now a lot of that digital process is still hanging on a lot of the same things you already mentioned (slow humans, politics, beurocracy, need to test prototypes, etc), but I think at some point, a lot of that will go away too due to automation in those sectors. Not to mention AI can probably start chipping away at factory/manufacture lead times with better planning and logistics than humans could ever come up with.

TL;DR if the AI gives you the plans and it still takes 10 years to build, we can't forget about the 25 years it saved already by transferring a bunch of meat space tasks into a digital equivalent.

But yes, your point is very important to keep in mind. Meat space is agonizingly slow compared to the digital world.
