Mark Forster's latest task-management system

30 April 2012

If you’ve been reading my blog awhile, you know that I’m a big fan of Mark Forster, one of the most creative time-management gurus out there.

From his book, Do It Tomorrow and Other Secrets of Time Management, to all four of his versions of Autofocus, to his DWM task-management system then Superfocus, I’ve followed him and tried all the things he suggests.

Most recently, I’d gone back to Autofocus’s first rendition.

But then, after months of teasing, he came out with what he says is his ultimate task-management system, which he’s calling Final Version. That’s how confident he is that this thing is great—he says it’s his last one. (Time will tell…I find that a little hard to believe.)

I’ve been trying out Final Version. I’m intrigued, but the jury is still out for me. That’s partly because I haven’t had a lot of time at my desk these days. I do like it, though. For the first time I’m trying to use electronic task management, rather than paper. FV lends itself to that. Thanks to the FV forums at Mark’s website, I was turned onto Wunderlist, which syncs nicely with my iPhone, so it’s been very portable and handy.

If you’re curious about Final Version, go to Mark’s website and sign up to receive the (free) instructions.

I’ll write more about it after I’ve drawn some conclusions. I just didn’t want to go any longer without letting you know that it exists!
