The Work App just got a major overhaul. This version really works for me.
I Just Downloaded The New App
And my opinion out of the box:
It rocks!
I just went through questioning a random belief (One-Belief-at-a-Time Worksheet) using the app. And then I used the app to write a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet and started questioning line 1.
It all worked seamlessly. I never had to leave the app. All the prompts I needed to fill in my worksheet and to do my work were contained in the app.
Very cool to know I can pull out my phone anywhere to do The Work any time I want to.
It Even Saves All My Work In “My Work Journal”
That means I can pull out my phone the moment I get triggered in some situation, write my worksheet right then, then maybe work a concept or two, and then save it to work more thoroughly later.
Or I can pull out my phone when I’m waiting somewhere and carry on with some work I had started earlier.
The only thing I wish it had was a way to export my work, or my worksheets, to another format (like emailing them to myself). But I can live without that feature. I believe it was a security issue that nixed this feature.
I also notice that I cannot delete work that I’ve done from “My Work Journal” in the app. I’d love to have that control. But I can also see how saving everything is also good. No need to spend time organizing. More time to focus on doing my work.
The app does allow me to edit my work.
The App Is Very Simple, Just Like The Work
There is no explanation about “how to do The Work.” Just follow the simple directions.
It will lead you through writing down your stressful thoughts, answering the four questions and any sub-questions, as well as finding turnarounds, and turnaround examples.
The simplicity of it is what appeals to me the most.
Will This Become My Main Way Of Doing The Work?
No.
I’m not that fast at typing with my thumbs on a phone. So I still prefer to write my work at my computer. And I really like the power of working in a group or with a partner.
But I can guarantee that I’ll be using this app when I’m away from my desk. Can’t wait to write the next worksheet in the moment when it happens!
Grab A Copy And Let Me Know What You Think
I think Byron Katie’s team did a great job with this app.
I’d love to hear your experience.
You can download the app from the iTunes store here for $1.39. It is designed for both iPhone and iPad. Or get the Android version.
Have a great weekend,
Todd
