Free (Light) Version of Activities and Priorities (AAP)

The major advantage of AAP Light version is that it is free. It is true that you cannot work with more than three activities in it, but for many people the three activities are enough. It is follows from the psychological experiments. They shows that at a given moment an average person can hold in her/his mind only three activities or in other words think about no more than three things at the same or almost at the same time. The upper limit is usually 7 to 10 activities but of course it is more difficult to work with such number of activities and it is characteristic of more active and busy people. All this means that for many people it is enough to work with three activities to balance their life and this is exactly what Light version of AAP allows to do.

In particular the free version of Activities and Priorities allows maintaining work-life balance. One of the reasons why you might need it is that the work may be very addictive. For example, workaholism was responsible for 6% divorces in 2004. Since people have no reliable sense of time you may sincerely believe that give enough of your time to your family but without AAP or other external monitor (human "life coach" for example) you can never be sure.

You can start from Light version and, if you discover that three activities are not enough to you, the simple registration of Light version converts it to Pro one (see Pro Version).
