I’ve had to make some major changes to my ideas for DIT2, which is going to mean that it will take longer than expected to publish it. The earliest is likely to be sometime in the first half of March.

It’s still based on a page-a-day diary, so if anyone has already invested in one in anticipation the money won’t be wasted!

There are some interesting new concepts which I have now included:

a. You can put tasks into the list without actually committing yourself to doing them. Once you have committed yourself to doing a task, it is then treated in a different way.

b. The little and often approach is encouraged, and the system is so constructed as to encourage you to keep going.

c. There is automatic purging of tasks which you haven’t committed yourself to doing.

d. The system can cope easily when you have days you can’t work on it. You don’t have to forecast these - you respond after the event.

e. You can do any task in the system next without breaking the rules.
