Discussion Forum > Two questions

I have two questions about AUTOFOCUS.

1) What if there is an item on my list which I don't need to do today or even this week but that I won't on my list (i.e. I have to call my accountant next week and I have to pay my credit card bill next week). Does these items have any place on the list and if so where , and what happens if I get to one of them and I realize -- "this can wait until next week"
2) what about "hard items" on the list. I have to make a phone call at 4 p.m. Obviously I can't do this item until 4 p.m. What if it's 2 p.m. and I'm already done with every other item on the page.

I'm sure I'll have more questions later but any help with these would be most appreciated.

Steve:

The instructions cover both these points:

1) You need some form of diary or reminder to enter these types of tasks.

2) You should not use Autofocus for tasks which have specific times.

I was prompted by Autofocus to redesign my method of scheduling as it was a little haphazard. If a new timed event comes up, or if I recall an event that I had previoulsy forgotten to schedule, I write it on my list as "schedule [event xxx]" The scheduling of it then not only completes a task, but also ensures I record everything in my new designated scheduling location, and also helps to fix it in my mind. I also have a task "check schedule" which gets done and re-entered periodically.
