It’s my understanding that Autofocus is an extension of “Do It Tomorrow.” In DIT, the “call Billy Bob a week from Tuesday” type tasks are stored in the Diary Calendar and NOT on the tasks pages.
So to answer your question, NO, pages in Autofocus aren’t views. You store the tasks that “you can if willing to work on” there. So when you delete a page of uncompleted tasks you are also removing all of those tasks from your workload. Therefore to keep a “new” or “re-visited” page, all you need to do is work on one item on that page, just one for like fifteen minutes. If you can’t talk yourself into doing that, then none of the items on the page are really worth doing in the first place. So you throw them all away. Again, Autofocus doesn’t prioritize your tasks, if you think it, just write it down. Autofocus lets your “willingness to work” on an item determine the prioritization of a task including whether you should be doing it at all. And yes, Forster says you CAN re-add some task from that list back on your newly forming page but he discourages it. He also encourages you if you really want to do that to “wait” for awhile or at least until you think you can commit yourself to actually work on that task. Hope that helps...
