AutoFocus (software) (Windows only)

Paul Keith:
Note: Have not tested.



The application emulates a traditional notebook paper, enabling user to jot down tasks details and streamline to-dos which are to be performed. The developer worked more on setting user’s mood right and focus straight on task which has to be performed in future. Unlike other time management software, it requires nothing except a list of tasks to be specified. According to the developer, it will significantly improve the volume of work in short timelines while keep your focus on tasks which are important.

Thanks Paul, it looks nice :)

 I've downloaded it - I'll report back if I manage to install and if I actually use it :-\
Probably should reread Forsters instructions for the AutoFocus "method" - dont think he's been active on his blog for a while...
I dont know which of these links if more recent (one is dated 2009 - the other has month (Jan.16) but no year... I think the 2009 one is the most recent)

Downloaded, ran... removed again.

Marvellous idea, but unless I can change that font, it's a no-go for me.

I don't see what the big deal is with this app.  Is the "notebook-like" interface supposed to make you focus more on the task at hand?  WTH?  Something like this could be coded in next to no time using standard Win32 controls.  In fact, I'm sure it's been done a hundred times over.

For my own ToDo list, I use: http://todotxt.com

It's based on Mark Foster's AutoFocus 'method' - which I tried for a little - but not long enough to praise it or knock it.
It's a way of intuitively prioritising stuff, particularly on a long todo list.

Probably best read one of the two links I posted above if you want to find out about it. Start here:

Actually I just saw there's a very good PDF linked at the bottom of that page - if you use the mouse wheel to scroll through it, it shows an animated todo list in practice:
