One thing we know from studies is that when we effectively delegate work to someone else we trust, we no longer worry about it. The other thing we know from studies is that inside our brain we consider the 'future self' as another person - fMRI studies have shown that 'future self' is the same parts of the brain as we use to think about OTHER people. The result is if we trust the future self, we can effectively delegate to someone else - ourselves! I think when you figured out 'the switch' this is what you are doing. One exercise is to say to yourself "This is a problem for Future <insert your name here>". This is surprisingly effective! Of course this only works if you trust your future self's ability to remember... an organization system really helps here. It doesnt matter WHAT system, just that you know it will work.
