YES! This! Space! Ah! Couldn't agree more here. I fee like I've been running a bit on autopilot, never quite being present with what I am doing because I have 5-6 things going on in my brain at once, and then...I crash. I need to try this and see how it goes!
Loved reading about your experiment with Flow Time. I've tried that before, but it didn't go as well for me...though I love the concept.
This year I've been playing around with an AI task management system, and I'm loving it so far. I can schedule due dates, priorities as well as how packed I want my days and what my "work hours" are. And if something takes longer than it should, extra tasks are sent to the next available time slot.
It's probably not for everyone, but it hits my type-A tendencies & allows me not to be overwhelmed by a list of unchecked tasks at the end of the day.
Oh, what's the system!? If you don't mind sharing. I've had AI "map out" my schedule for a couple of weeks now and it's actually doing quite well. In the instance of this experimental time, I've given it specifics as to which time management technique I want to explore, but now, I'm just telling it what I want to accomplish each day and it does the rest! I'm very good at doing this myself, BUT AI saves me a lot of TIME. Which... is the whole goal of this, right!? Last Friday, I tried the flow time again and it gave me some immense takeaways around my resistance to "not having a plan". Noteworthy.
Re: Your A-Type tendencies which I also share, I think it's possible for us to cultivate more resilience to the stress and overwhelm. I guess that's why it ultimately fascinates me so much. How can I increase resiliency so these things stress me out LESS?

I read yours and said... oh, we're in the same boat 😂. Together, we shall row ourselves to shore haha!
