so I need some sort of middle ground of … disciplinary flow, I guess?
also with the old life, all I had to do was show up, and do the work. and that was easy to plan and execute
my current life is very amorphous. I have a lot more responsibilities. I have to take care of family. My body broke in 2018 and it requires daily upkeep to function. And I am trying to pivot careers. All of these generate a lot of work. Not to mention the rest of life throwing things at me.
So I somehow need some approach to taming it. and focus on what I need to do.
I’m good at the long term stuff. I know what I want to do.What I need to try. The paths to get there.
What I currently lack is some way of handling daily life. And what to do when life happens all the time.
Current plan: long term stuff - do with #OrgMode. daily stuff - do with #TimeBlocking
What I *also* need to remember to do is ***review*** mesh what i do on a daily basis and see if it is leading me to where I want to be.

Tech writer friends on the #Fediverse, when do you write about your projects?
I write tiny scripts that help me do stuff.
And I always want to write about them.
But I feel silly, thinking folks already know this.
Or I haven’t done it yet, let me write about it once, I get it working
And once I’m done, sometimes the thing I did is so specific, I don’t know if other folk will write it.
Or the script / program does, what I want it to do, works really well, and fades into the background with my good intentions of writing about it.

but more important than that is the mindset.
when I was doing omnifocus / gtd, everything got done, but I was wound tight as a drum.
and while over the past years, i reverted to simple planning using org mode, i feel … free, but important things fall through the cracks and then I am all flustered. I also feel lost a lot.
