The Notes App Graveyard

neurotypicals: "just write it down so you don't forget" me: forgets to check the thing I wrote down me: loses the thing I wrote it down on me: writes it down again and forgets what it means

My notes app is a haunted house. Full of ghosts of intentions past. Cryptic messages from a version of me who clearly thought future me would understand what "TUESDAY - CALL - IMPORTANT - THE THING" meant.

I do not understand what that means.

I have 14 notebooks, 3 apps, sticky notes everywhere, and a whiteboard. I am the most organized disaster you've ever seen. The system isn't the problem. I am the problem. The system requires a user who remembers the system exists.

If you need me I'll be buying another planner I'll use for 11 days.
