Resonates! Definitely helps with trusting our guts too!
A famous developer talked about how to choose features for their next app development cycle. Typically, every two months their team has to choose 3 or 4 features to develop. He says if it is that important, It will come again, either the team, the customers, himself, will think about it again.
Once we have a method of putting our thoughts in a place. somehow the world has a nice way to remind us about what is important. from our friends, our own thoughts.
Many years ago I did a time management course with Franklin (before the merger with Steven Covey's organization, which muddied the methodology). The three things I got from that (neither of which I've been able to stick with - although my paper Franklin planner lasted longer than any other attempt!) was - 1 Keep all your notes in one place (in the planner, organised by the day you wrote them) and 2 Only have one calendar/schedule (brilliant advice but, for me, at least) almost impossible to follow and - most profound (for me anyway) 3 that the purpose of a calendar (and notes, to a great extent) is not to help you to remember - it's to allow you to forget.
Thanks for sharing. I love that last line of allowing you to forget. The peace that line brings alone, as a person with a neurodivergent brain, is literal music to my ears.

Good for you for looking at it this way! We need our working memory to be in the moment and care about the things that actually matter.
Absolutely. And our brains were never meant to carry this much.
