Going through the pile regularly makes it more likely for me to action the stuff I intended to action

I've tried using todo lists (physical and apps) but, as soon as they're not in front of my face, I forget about them. Lately I've been putting Everything in my calendar app. I have a widget on my phone home screen that tells me what's next so I always see it and regularly tap it to see what's on the day and the rest of the week.
It's not just appointments. I'm also putting tasks and reminders on there which are typically "todo" list things. Centralized, just a glance away.
It's also becoming an aid for journaling? I'm putting in shit just to remind myself what I've done socially and privately throughout the week.

i need structure to survive and it helps to add things to my calendar, because in my brain it's like i've "signed up" to do something for a certain amount of time. whether its a hobby, workout, researching a project, an errand etc it goes in my calendar or to-do list.
even if i already did x thing that day, i put it on the list just to cross it off which feels nice :-)
it helps me not gaslight myself into thinking i didn't do anything because i can look at the list!

Started putting repeat prompts into my calendar at parts of my day where I know I’m not doing anything. Stuff like “practice french”, “read something”, “write something”,“call/text someone important” etc. like 15 minute tasks that run shorter or longer depending on how I’m feeling that day. Haven’t started ignoring them yet but they’re all pretty low stakes. It’s been making me feel slightly more productive and also like a sim, which I love.

Thinking someone is beautiful, or you love that they are reading a book, or the way they are enjoying their sandwich is enviable. The more I do it, the more positive I feel about humanity , and it feels good.
