Speedier task creation by allowing typing of task duration at end of task title

Creating tasks in Structured is the core UX of the app but is quite cumbersome, involving a lot of clicking/tapping (and essentially no visual feedback, requiring reading a lot of text labels, but that's a story for another thread)

One way to streamline this would be to allow people to type the task duration at the end of the task name, and use that to populate the next screen.

Current process:

  1. Click Create button

  2. Type in task name

  3. Click Continue

  4. Click the task duration

  5. Click Create Task

Proposed process:

  1. Click Create button

  2. Type in task name and a duration (e.g. "Feed the dog 20"). Optionally, Structured could create a task suggestion card below like it already does for past tasks

  3. Click Continue

  4. (no need for the duration click anymore because it's already set to 20 min)

  5. Click Create Task

It removes one click, but multiply that times all the times everyone creates a task and it really adds up!
