The only kind of planning worth doing is memento-mori life planning. Backwards from certainty of death.
Wonderfully clarifying exercise to fill out a Gantt chart backwards from a skull 💀 node

This has been my approach to convince myself to read more. I have N books on my to read list, and it grows by M per year.
The only thing I control is throughput, so might as well try to make it match N/50+M per year!

do you have checks like "what state would my legacy be in if I got hit by a bus tomorrow?"
