I'm trying to learn more about the feeling that I'm not doing something right and that my priorities are wrong because I'm not considering the full picture.

It feels like I have something I need to do, but I don't know what it is, but it's gonna bite me in the ass when I realize it.

Do you all have any techniques or ways of thinking that help you evaluate where you actually stand in terms of doing all the things you need to do?

How do you go through your life and re-priorotize?

How do you feel confident in thinking I don't have to do anything right now? I can just rest or do what I want?

The best resource, in my opinion, is Ryder's own book, The Bullet Journal Method.

EDIT: My journal tech is literally a notebook and a pencil. Simple, tactile and readily available is what I need. Apps, in my opinion, add to the problem rather than help.

Perfect, thank you!

I currently use a plain old brown bound journal for occasional reflective writing and there’s something about the physical act of pen to paper that helps me calm down so this may be the way. I’ll check out the book.
