Late to this, but I do it by: - thinking top-down: PVSGEERRRR which stands for purpose, vision, strategy, goals, empowerment, execution, report, review, revise, repeat. Those are carefully considered and solidified but open to new learning, for me, now. - having a highly efficient organizer (I use the one I wrote, AGPL, at https://www.onemodel.org https://www.onemodel.org, desktop-only and requires you to manage postgresql; those mentioned by others might also work well) to track things I don't want to forget - putting my daily routine as well as all reminders/notes/calendar/ticklers/prioritized plans/todos etc organized in there, making it more efficient & effective as I learn, over time. This includes reminders to relax, and lists of things I want to do to relax to make sure they stay beneficial. I make voice notes on my phone and have a daily to-do to transcribe any new ones into the prioritized system, along with a scripted/fast periodic backup routine. - having daily meditation and scripture study & prayer about what I can do to be a better person, which I then incorporate into the routines above.
