Let systems do the remembering

Automate the recurring stuff: bill payments, reorders, calendar reminders for anything you have ever forgotten twice. Every task you hand to a system is one you never have to hold in your head again.

Batch similar tasks together, all your calls in one block, all your errands on one route. Switching between very different kinds of work has a hidden cost; your brain needs a moment to change gears each time, and those moments add up.

Keep a single capture spot, one notebook or one app, for every stray thought and to-do. Half the time we lose isn't spent doing things; it's spent trying to remember what we were supposed to do.
