Abstract
An annotator for monitoring a list of tasks to be performed by a person is provided. Using the annotator, a user may define a task to be performed. The task may be described by selecting values for several fields, including for example a person field, an action field, and a details field. The annotator may combined the selected values to form a sentence defining the task. When the task is complete, the annotator may automatically convert the task to a life event by changing the tense of a verb to the past tense, indicating that the task has been completed and has become an achievement. The annotator may display a listing of life events in a life events display, or may publish one or more life events to a blog, web page, or other application.
