Abstract

A method performed by a computing system includes generating a to-do list user interface comprising a user actuatable list element corresponding to a particular entry on a to-do list associated with a user, and a user input mechanism actuatable to perform a to-do list management function comprising at least one of adding a new entry on the to-do list, deleting an existing entry on the to-do list, and modifying an existing entry on the to-do list. The method includes generating an agenda associated with the user, the agenda comprising an agenda item having an associated time period, and detecting a flick gesture on the user actuatable list element on the to-do list user interface, and adding, based on the detected flick gesture, an agenda item to the agenda associated with the user, the added agenda item corresponding to the particular entry on the to-do list.
