I've writing things down to do each week in a notebook. Unsurprisingly, a lot of those things don't get done; I always want to do more than I can.

I'm starting to feel that it might help me to explicitly abandon things and internalize how much I can do, rather than just forget them because I'm too busy, then find them later and feel regret. This is difficult to do in a notebook because you have to either continually go back over previous pages or recopy old tasks to new pages.

A good place, then, to track this stuff would be something like a Trello board, but…yuck. I don't know what it is exactly about that, but it's probably an association with business that makes that repulsive and disheartening.

This, of course, then leads me to think, make myself my own TODO app! But that also has gross associations and is not a good use of time.

[Now I am pausing from writing this to think of a solution so I can end this note tidily.]

I could carry around a small sack with several slips of paper in it.

OK, a wallet of cards?

Heh, I just remembered that I wrote a Trello viewer 2 (?!) years ago. It automatically decided what I should be doing in a week during what periods (e.g. mechanical activity time, concentration time). I pretty much ignored it all the time.

Man, fuck productivity.
