5. The method of claim 4, wherein reducing the item collection and distribution goals comprises:

reducing the item collection and distribution goals in response to a determination that measured heart rate of the user exceeds a predetermined heart rate threshold.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein generating the instruction data comprises:

generating location instructions presentable to the user to direct the user to the multiple geographical locations where item collection and distribution operations for the plurality of items are performed.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

measuring motion and orientation of the user;

wherein generating the location instructions to direct the user to the multiple geographical locations comprises;

generating the location instructions based, at least in part, on the measured motion and orientation of the user.

8. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

determining location of the user based on signals received from at least one of;

a wireless access point, a cellular base station, and one or more satellites of a satellite positioning system;

wherein generating the location information to direct the user to the multiple geographical locations comprises;

generating the location instructions based, at least in part, on the determined location of the user.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
