AutoFocus Version 4 Now Available

  • Article

AutoFocus version 4 (AF4) is now available.

In summary:

  1. Start writing a list of your undone tasks, one task per line.
  2. Draw a line at the end of the list. Everything above the line is called the Backlog. Everything after the line is called the Active List. As new tasks come up, add them to the end of your Active List.
  3. Start circling through the Backlog, working on tasks until you feel that you can't do any more of them.
  4. Now move to the Active List and pass through it once, working on tasks.
  5. Go back to step 3.
  6. When you have finished all of the tasks in your Backlog, draw a line at the end of the entire list. Everything above the new line becomes the new Backlog. Everything below the line becomes the new Active List. Go back again to step 3.
