The author's post-it method is evocative of what I do. I have a bunch of cards. More than 20, less than 30 of them. All of my activities have been categorized into these cards. Such that I pick a card and go. This makes it easy to log and do stats wrt/ mood (inside view), and activity (outside view). Also it helps with applying "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are". Cards have limits on them. Time limits and space limits. Spacey limits are "anywhere", "town", "out" and "in". Timey limits are availability hours "from-to" and duration limits "from-upto". There are four cards that are "anywhere" and "anytime". They are called "Burn" for time-limited aimlessness, "Drain" for interruptions and forced unpleasantness, and "Stop, wait" for forced idle time. Forced is unexpected and not initiated by myself in this case. There's also "Crash" for unscheduled or improperly initiated sleep. These are red cards. There are two more cards that are similar, "Calls" and "Commute" that have two time-windows in a day and are "anywhere". These too are red cards. There are green cards like "Cook and/or Eat" or "Garden", "Improve Habitat", "Washup or Cleanup", "Shower or Groom" and others that are "inside". Also "Code/Write" and "make Music/Play" that are orange "inside" cards. There are blue cards like "Stock up" or "Job", "Socialize" that are "outside" and have hours attached. And cards that are limited in time(window) but not space like "Sharpen Axe", "Walk or Sit", "Take stock and Adjust". Those are orange cards. The "Exercise" and "Job" cards unlock a "Coffee and Smokes" card and a "Snack" card for one-time use. Even just making these cards and following, using them for 10 days or so made my mind markedly different. Removed a whole level of underlying anxiety that I did not identify as a removable category. Made me appreciate myself in a different way. And it is a thing you do if "You treat yourself as someone you're responsible for, responsible for helping". It came from the idea that RPGs are systems emulating reality. So it should work in reverse, treating yourself as a PC character and categorizing the larger world around you as a game-board with cards. Make your own cards. Very much worth the experience (and points). <3
