A computer-implemented method for organizing tasks presented on a graphical user interface of a computer hardware system for a user includes the following operations. An electronic message associated with a collaborative messaging application executing with the computer hardware system is received. A first collaboration having one or more collaborative tasks is identified from the electronic message. A need-for-action, a time-to-act, and a time-to-complete are determined for the first collaboration. A moving average for the first collaboration is adjusted based upon the need-for-action, the time-to-action, and a time-to-complete. The presentation of the first collaboration within the graphical user interface is altered based upon the moving average.
