I have some practical thoughts and I'd love to see if you folks think it will work.
The big idea is to leverage three pieces of information:
1. The due date the tasker agrees to do, 2. The date in which the task actually gets done, 3. Resets of the date one way or another.

The +/- is then shown to anyone who attempts to request a due date on the individual. People who are well loaded would have +/- close to 0 and those who are overloaded would have more negative numbers. My thought is that just exposing these numbers would allow people to factor in more reasonable asks for the individual much like showing one's CPU load.
