Auto-focus. Version 2. Cracking down to-do list just got easier
Productivity Motivation / / December 19, 2019
If you have not noticed, I'll tell you that the "Auto-focus" stepped to the second version. Author system decided to take into account the results of their work, as well as the comments received in the group discussions and to develop approaches that eliminate the problem. I will not invent anything by themselves, and try to simply translate the author's note.
How the system works
Adding tasks is happening exactly the same as in first version. The difference is already in the process of working with a list:
1. Start with the last task on your list
2. Read the problem with the last to the first until not find the one you need to do, which stand out in your mind.
3. Perform the task in whole or in part.
4. Make your task list again, if necessary.
5. Repeat steps 1-5.
Note that after work on a task should not continue to move to the top of the list, you must go back to the end. Since the list will continue to grow, it will give you the opportunity to not miss urgent or important matters, added recently, which will increase confidence in the system.
Deletion of unclaimed tasks
Every morning, you should go to the oldest page in which there are outstanding matters (active page) and to emphasize the very first unit outstanding problems so far. All these problems are now "taken note". The block may include any number of problems, starting with one.
At the beginning of the next day you have to delete all incomplete tasks of this unit. Mark recommends marker to delete them in order to facilitate the review in the future.
After that, it should be noted the new unit is already for the current day.
