I’ve been trying Autofocus, Mark Forster’s new task management system.  I was quite anxious for a while that the system would discard important tasks.  So I kept looking for tasks on the first page to keep it alive.  Then it happened, a good half of the tasks got dismissed.  And it was a relief rather than a source of anxiety.
It’s a nice way to put – the system did the dirty job, discarding dead weight.  It’s actually my intuitive part that I’m growing to trust more and more.
Another challenge came yesterday when I realized at the end of the day that I hadn’t made a step in an important project due within a few days.  I spent my time on less urgent stuff instead.  That made me feel guilty, so I explored what I had actually done and what I hadn’t.  Here is the result,

• I spent much time on a writing project which is due later, but it needs a lot of preparation
• I worked on a less urgent project but it’s more important in the long run
• I spent a few hours reading Haskell-related stuff – it’s no work, but hey, it was Sunday after all, and too much work and no fun makes Jack a dull boy
• It turned out that the feature I wanted to implement in TaskBerry was too complex, a simpler solution would suffice

So I realized, Autofocus was right.  I can trust my intuition.
