Autofocus with Checkvist

As any outliner, Checkvist can be used for various work scenarios. I use Checkvist as an outline: mostly planning and brainstorming. Kir prefers checklists and to-do lists (he loves to share his to-do lists so the others could participate and cross out a couple of items, too ;)

Today Dan Hersam created a screencast about his way to the productivity nirvana: the Autofocus methodology combined with Checkvist.

We do not use any special methodology (may be due to the large variety of tasks for which we use Checkvist), but the feeling Dan describes is very familiar:

It sounds crazy, but it’s actually fun to see the backlog get smaller. Seeing the list size reduce encourages you to keep at the tasks, tackling the big ones a little at a time. The closer you get to finishing them all, the more your enthusiasm grows.

We all strive for productivity, have too little time to fulfill our plans, are always distracted, etc. How do you deal with the situation? Fight it? Embrace it? Use any special methodology? Tools? Checkvist? ;)

If you have any tips or blog posts on the subject, please share! And if you follow any methodology, what’s your most wanted missing feature in Checkvist for that?
