Return to the Index

• Warren buffet planning: list of 25 items, sort by importance, circle top 5, avoid remaining 20 until those five are done.
• Decision fatigue: billionaire elites wearing simple uniforms or diets to avoid making choices about them. Decision making as an exhaustive endeavor.
• Indirectly mentions Eisenhauer matrix: delete tasks that are not vital to someone, and do not matter. (Though the actual matrix sorts Important-Urgent, Important-Not Urgent, Unimportant-Urgent, and Unimportant-Not Urgent.)
• Index: locate comments and topics in the journal.
• Future log: tasks which occur outside the current month.
• Monthly log: time and tasks for the current month.
• Daily log: daily inbox
• Using different bullet markers to indicate important, unimportant, completed tasks, events, migrated or scheduled tasks.
• Memory can be distorted (esp. emotionally.) Example given was someone who kept log of slights his dating partner made and reviewed them after a break-up to find he never was all that happy.
• Threading: using a numbering scheme so the volume of journal and page within the volume is part of the identifier.

Bunch of stuff about mindfulness and organizing tasks in to sprints. Some example implementations of what has already been talked about.
