Thank you for your comment Sathya, it is interesting to hear your thoughts about Final Version very interesting, and notes on the system. I like the fresh approach Mark Forster brings to productivity. I’m thinking of rereading his books this year. Have you read any of them?

For me, planning was my strength, while engaging and execution was the problem. It doesn’t mean I don’t do things. But I find my resistance growing while I move from my ‘planning’ phase to ‘execution’ phase.

I found Mark Forster’s Final Version – Task Management System (an upgraded version of Autofocus System) to be a resilient of such vagaries and helps me win over my particular issue with execution.

It is intuitive. I found that the FV system using the ‘Colley’s rule’ and ‘Structured Procrastination’ technique gives me the choice in doing what I would want to do in a structured and systematic way. There is form of control that I am having over what I am doing. In fact, I am not just doing anything or crossing items off my list, but I am choosing to do things that I feel like or wanting to do using a structured systematic process.

I have created a flowchart/ visual note of the FV system here: http://sathyawrites.com/fv-system-visual-notes/

Saba,

Thank you for the offer. I would be very interested in testing out your app, but I’m afraid I have an Android phone and don’t have access to an iPhone to even borrow one for a while. Maybe some other Final Version users will be interested it trying it out for you.

We would be delighted if you could take a look at the app and review it. If you can, do let us know, we shall provide you with a promo code.
