Wanna test a brand new time-management system?

23 December 2008

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of Mark Forster. The principles in his book Do It Tomorrow and Other Secrets of Time Management have been really helpful for me and I credit them with helping me get a handle on time (or at least task) management as well as procrastination.

Recently, Mark offered up a variation on the “will do list” recommended in Do It Tomorrow. I gave it a whirl and have found it to be even better. I’m delighted with this innovation.

But my level of excitement rose a big notch when Mark announced cryptically that he was working on a new system. He’s been blogging about it a bit and this reserved English gentleman seems quite excited. So of course I am. He put out a call for beta testers. My fingers flew as I rushed to his site to sign up. Testing begins on or around January 5. Can’t wait!

This morning, he emailed the beta testers asking us to spread the word. He’s looking for all sorts of people (not just Mark Forster fans) to try out the new system. He wrote, “I need a wide variety of people. It doesn’t matter whether they think they are good at time management or hopeless at it. Nor does it matter if they think they won’t have time to do it! I am just as interested in why some people don’t succeed with it as I am in why others do succeed.”

To learn a little more about the new system, go to the blog archive section of Mark’s website and click on new system to see the eight entries he’s made so far about it.

If you’re interested in getting in on this experiment, go to Mark’s website and enter your email address in the newsletter sign-up box on the right. Then click the box next to “Beta Testing” and submit.
