Mark Forster is the author of three books about time management and personal organisation. The most recent, Do It Tomorrow, was published by Hodder in 2006.
Yesterday, Omnifocus on my iPhone indicated that 5 tasks - all red - were going to be overdue in 48 hours. The combination of color (red) and numerical indicator (5) created anxiety (a good thing). With AF 1-4, I never felt the pull to work on potential dismissed items. Even though I'm in the middle of preparing an important workshop (Learning to love: How relationships help you grow), I believe I'll find time to apply some "little and often" to those tasks. Very cool.
That would mean we probably started, and avoided, tasks at the same time!
