Energy

It would be wonderful if you could edit the energy feature so that I can manually input how much energy a task is going to take/give. The set slider isn’t quite doing it for me, as some takes take more than one option but less than the next. Otherwise everything is great!

    This would be a great feature for chronically ill patients, e.g. long covid, me/cfs or fibromyalgia, see spoon theory. The energy a task costs is not only related to duration, e.g. we could write an email for one hour, but standing for two minutes will wipe us out. Duration is too crude a proxy to make it usable, being able to adjust the number of spoons would be important. Also because we don’t have a normal amount of hours where we are functional, e.g. sometimes a thirty minute window is all we have in a day and 10 out of the 12 spoons in a day would be needed in those thirty minutes. Pleae reconsider this feature and check with the chronically ill community, it might open up a whole new subsegment of users for you.

    To be honest, I'm not sure why this has been rejected. I would adore this, as someone who knows and would like to set exactly how much energy something will/has taken me. I want to measure the energy a task will take me by my metrics, not by length-of-time presets.

    And the steps are multiples of 2, which is irritating. Wdym I can only measure the energy this long task is going to take me by 3⚡️, 6⚡️ or 12⚡️? What if it ended up taking me 8⚡️? Or 5⚡️? That's just not an option? Why?
