Work – tab for prioritizing and managing what work each colonist should do and in what order:

Schedule – daily schedule for each colonist including Work, Sleep, Recreation and Anything. If all 24 hours per day will be work, colonist will burn out and became uncontrolable. If it will be do Anything 24 hours they will be doing whaterwer they want and not what needed to be done. So optimal way is set 8 hours for work, 8 hours for do Anything, and 8 hours for the sleep. Work will be done, and pawns will have good mood as well.
