…The big takeaway from this is that no app or system can take away the emotional resistance you're feeling toward a task. Acknowledging that resistance and letting it speak has to come first.

There is something powerful about knowing that when I see a particular piece of information, be it a repeating task or calendar event, *I* put it there. Not some repeat-every-second-week button in an app. *Me*. I trust my manual system more than I trusted apps to get it right.

That’s early for calendars to come out, maybe to help with back to school plans? I think I’ll always like seeing the year ahead. Each to their own.

To clarify, I’m talking about the comment section here, not the original post. Allowing comments that insult someone’s skin colour to go unanswered suggests it’s acceptable to criticise skin colour and diagnosed conditions of people we (or they) disagree with.

You don’t have to agree with RFK’s beliefs to know that he’s referring to how many died from COVID in relation to how many he claims may have died from the vaccines. Insulting someone based on what they look and sound like isn’t a great way to go about helping anyone see the truth.
