Autofocus: Dissecting the Instructions #7 - Dismissing Actions

  • Article

In this series of blog posts, I'm going through each step of the Autofocus instructions...

"If you go to a page and no item stands out for you on your first pass through it, then all the outstanding items on that page are dismissed without re-entering them. Use your highlighter to mark dismissed items...."

If you can't settle on the next task to work on for a given page (but not the last page), you should highlight all of the undone tasks on that page and then move on. This will help you more easily determine as time goes by whether you still need to work on those tasks or whether they should be rejected outright. (For electronic-based lists, you may need to determine how best to highlight dismissed tasks.)
