  • ๐Ÿ““๐Ÿ“ท This is the best sourdough loaf ๐Ÿž Iโ€™ve baked so far! All this time I think Iโ€™ve been adding too much water. Iโ€™ve been underestimating the water content in my starter is my guess.

  • ๐Ÿ“ Finally created some evergreen notes ร  la Zettelkasten. Lesson learned - I should have just started without overthinking it. Hereโ€™s something that has helped me through hectic times recently:

    Scrying your TODO list

    Scrying is a mechanic from Magic the Gathering tabletop card came. It allows for a player to:

    • look at their stack of cards
    • decide to put cards at the bottom of the stack
    • decide to keep cards on the top and re-order them

    Scrying your TODO list could be a useful metaphor for prioritizing tasks. The order of tasks, especially the next 2-5 tasks, is more important than completing the whole list.

    A useful heuristic for scrying a TODO list is deciding which tasks need doing today and which tasks will make tomorrow easier.
