Client Question: Should I try Mark Forster’s new “autofocus” time management system?

Answer by Kevin Crenshaw, Priacta Head Coach and co-author of The TRO Field Guide:

Mark Forster’s new “autofocus” system is interesting, and Mark is a great time management experimenter, so we’re paying attention.
