I rarely register time passing, and I certainly can’t estimate how long has passed while I’m working on something, or how long something should take. It’s not very high tech 4, but it’s been the best fit for us. We’ve currently settled on a bulleted list inside a Google Doc.

I’m simultaneously paralysed by all the options and terrified that I’m forgetting more important things. By the time I’m done brain dumping and sorting things out, I’m too tired to do any of the things on my list. There’s an idea in my head that if I can just get everything into a perfect list, it will all be better, and I will be more productive and prolific. What I struggle with is crossing things off lists. I’ve tried text files, email reminders, scheduled Telegram messages, spreadsheets, bullet journals, web based apps, and premium apps like OmniFocus. I’ve fallen off the GTD wagon more times than I can think of. There are days when I feel like I’m like a dragon that hoards information candy 2.

I’m not building a Zettelkasten or anything like that.
