**Making things easier for you later helps you later, AND helps you now.** It is difficult to carry important ideas through time. Clarity is a fleeting asset. It takes a lot of [[Context Loading]] to achieve. Have a habit of pre-processing ideas, tasks, and making those things easier for yourself to pick back up on at a later date. This will help you achieve more, faster, when you eventually come around to the content again - but it will _also_ help you achieve clarity now. You’ll be more engaged with what’s on your plate, and you’ll likely be able to pre-ordain success. # Methods - Capture [[Notes (index)]] - Perform [[Progressive Summarization]] to add context or new insights - Set [[Contextual Reminders]] - [[Tailor Your Environment]] - Set [[Timeboxing]] periods - Exercise to maintain your future energy - Go to bed and [[Protect Sleep]] **** # More ## Source - [[Building a Second Brain Podcast]] ## Related - [[Habit Change - Ease]] - [[Inbox]] - [[Capturing Tasks]] - [[Capturing Notes]] - [[Progressive Summarization]] - [[Intermediate Packets]] - [[Ivy Lee Method]] - [[End with the Beginning in Mind]] - [[Build On Yourself]]
