I've been dreaming about a view for this and keep waiting for a coding time 
window to make a poc. As I mentioned earlier, I see all of these things as 
texts with metadata.

This is what I have in mind for a view with events and tasks.

What are tasks? They are events without fixed times, but they might have a 
priority, a deadline and a context, and a duration estimate.

For example, my task 'practice trombone' is a private task, but the task 
'empty inbox' occurs as work task and private task.

Depending on a context, the software can dynamically schedule a task in my 
calendar. It goes in the empty slots appropriate for the context. So private 
stuff goes in evenings and weekends and works stuff flows to fill the empty 
work slots in the calendar. If you want to schedule a meeting that would let a 
task with a deadline flow beyond the deadline, the calendar/planning app could 
indicate this dynamic scheduling conflict.

The widget to make this possible is not trivial and the backing data model 
would also have to have some understanding of the logic of all of this.

In GTD methodology, the weekly review could then be done in the journalling/
calendar view.

Cheers,
Jos
