Mark Forster in Final Version

Last Friday I said that over the next week or so I expected the Final Version system to weed out my list of tasks to a sustainable number. At that stage I had 129 separate tasks on my list, which included 74 which were supposed to recur at least once a day.

As of this morning (Tuesday) I have 76 separate tasks of which 36 are supposed to recur at least once a day. Many of the recurring tasks are housekeeping tasks which only take a few minutes (or even seconds) - provided they are kept on top of. I’ve also split some of the previous tasks (such as “Exercise”) down into small packets so the reduction has actually been greater than the figures suggest.

There may be some more weeding over the next few days, but most of it has now been achieved.

The question now is of course: “Is what is left the right stuff?”

My feeling is that it is, though it will take some more time to be absolutely sure.

So far then I am very encouraged.
