# BabySteps

A unique task manager and to-do application written in Java. The

project has no dependencies outside the standard library.

## Purpose

You're procrastinating. There's something you must do, but you just

can't get started. You're not procrastinating due to a lack of

motivation. You *really want* to complete the job. You're overwhelmed

by the task and paralyzed as a result.

**BabySteps** is here to help. This task organizer lets you break down

a job into tiny, bite size pieces. After assembling these subtasks,

**BabySteps** let's you see only the simplest task.

For example, let's suppose you want to write a book. To *write a book*

you need to form a plot, create some characters, write a draft, and

publish the work. To *form a plot*, the author must create an

introduction, a climax, and a resolution. An *introduction* should

establish the setting, introduce the characters, and start the

story. Notice how each job can be divided into smaller tasks?

Writing a book seems like an impossible undertaking. Splitting the

task into **BabySteps** makes things much more manageable. This method

also empowers and gives you a sense of achievement on your journey.

## Design

The architecture of **BabySteps** splits classes into two components: the

model and the user interface (or view). The model manages a B-tree of

tasks and their statuses. `TaskModel` specifically communicates with

the UI via the

[observer pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern). The

UI presents the tasks to the user and interacts with the model through

a set of `ActionListeners`.
