I have to-do lists for my to-do lists.

Not even exaggerating.

Yep. Now I just know all the shit I failed to do today :\

Or my favorite, "here let me show you how to use a calendar."

Great, next maybe you could teach a blind kid to ride a bike.

Here's me in 6th grade, reading at a college level, learning algebra, picking up coding because it's fun, and you think the problem is that I don't conceptually get calendars?

sorry, I only drink Barq's

I would but if I don’t stare at that to-do list non-stop, I will immediately forget it exists.

In all seriousness though, breaking things down helped me a bit. It can be useful in certain situations but of course isn't a cure-all.
