The 365 Commitment

Day 48 – Remembering the List

When you wake in the morning and you create a list of what is most important for you to accomplish, and then you pray/meditate over that list – you have created a great plan. A plan that if you were to accomplish – you would make the most of your day.

Now you need to remember the list. If you bring a notebook with you – that works. Or perhaps a note on your phone – although I do not like this idea as much. I am starting to figure out that my phone is a distraction from me accomplishing my list!!

My new way is to create a small little journey in my mind. My list usually is about 10 items long and I have now created this mental mind map where I walk through 10 areas at my Grandmother’s house in Colorado. In each room I visualize something that reminds me of what I committed to do that morning.

I have tried this for a few days and it seems to be working well. It helps me to remember what I want to focus on and as a periodically walk through this mental mind map, I am reminded of what is important.

Just a suggestion – you can only accomplish your great list if you actually remember what is on it!!

Day 325 – All Loops Require Supervision

The author shares two anecdotes—an AI system stuck in a loop and a sprinkler system with a hidden leak—to illustrate the critical need for supervision, even in automated processes. The core message is that automation reduces mental load but doesn’t absolve us of the responsibility to monitor systems and routines to ensure they continue to serve their intended purpose and don’t cause unforeseen harm.
