Hello,
I wrote that idea to Kdepim-users list half year ago. It was missed there.
Now will try to exlain it here. :)

I'm Using Kontact more than 2 years and really like this application, it's best PIM solution for linux, and one of the best solutions for all OS. But still some things can be improved. 

Some time ago I invested time for reading books about time management. Let me share experience. 

Lets talk about task priorities. Almost all time management experts propose to use so called ABC system. You can find some info about it in wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_management#ABC_analysis

But, let me describe more precise:
There are 4 levels of priorities: A, B, C, D:
A - Critical and time sensitive tasks. Those must be done immediately. If it done it may give super results, if not - cause serious consequences.

B- Important but less time sensitive tasks. They can be postponed but not for long. After some time they can rise to A priority.

C- not time sensitive tasks. They can be delayed without serious consequences. If tied to distant competition date - will eventually rise to B or even A priority when deadline approaches. 

D- optional - nice, but not important and not time sensitive tasks. It never rise to B or C. Theoretically you don't need to do it. For example to go to movie, or read a book, to buy flower for wife etc. 

How it looks now in Korganizer?
