In that case the task owner should be changed to the proofreader. Both of the "document writer" and the "proofreader" should be listed as the

We start to use timers and I think that a manager should be able to se a task as a countdown timer. This means that the estimated work hours should be used as clock ticking and the owner should accept that this is the time to complete his work.

I am constantly spending more time on tasks to optimize the result but an hour MORE on a task means an hour LESS on another. A perfect result is nice but
