1. A method for scheduling a task based upon a measure of graduated availability for a specified time frame, the method comprising the steps of:

  • identifying tasks which previously had been scheduled about a specified time frame;

    weighting each of said identified tasks according to a likelihood that a newly scheduled task when combined with said weighted identified tasks would interfere with completing said weighted identified tasks;

    computing an average of said weights, said average producing a graduated availability for said specified time frame; and

    , storing said graduated availability for use in scheduling a new task about said specified time frame.
