Herding Cats

Sizes

All tasks in Herding Cats have a size. The size is a number, and is usually displayed as that number of tiny cats. The default size is 2.

It’s up to you to decide what these sizes mean for you and your workflow.

Maybe size 1 is a small task, meaning you only need 1 cat’s worth of effort to do it, or you only get to pet 1 cat as a reward for completing that task.

Or perhaps size 3 is a tiny task that you’ve already put in a bunch of effort to break a big piece of work down into, and you give yourself many cats as a thankyou to past you for putting in that effort.
