How about this - different people respond well to different organizational methods? Perhaps like many things there is not a one size fits all solution. For me

How about this - different people respond well to different organizational methods? Perhaps like many things there is not a one size fits all solution. For me, todo lists in the form of a Kanban board with columns that hold longer term "need to remember" tasks really help so I don't forget those things. And when I am sitting idle wondering what to do next, I have a list ready (unless something else pops up that is higher priority). I think over scheduling might lead to its own inflexibility and paralysis as well. But it might work great for some people!
