1. Externalize. Let the environment remind you
2. Write it down
3. Prioritize and make lists
4. Do a mind clearing exercise by writing and forget about everything that's not in the moment
5. Focus on what's in front of you

Some helpful tips - I especially like the one on "externalizing" - works well for me....

Are your tips written down anywhere? The music is too annoying to try to concentrate on your comment on your tips

Combine this guy with some Cal Newport & even Seneca would be impressed the shortness of time wasted!👍🙏🧐🇨🇦

so my problem is I sometimes go into an ultra nerd phase and I guess the way I think is, once I find a problem or idea I kind of want to solve it like a math equation but my main goal is to break it down to explain it in the most simplest way but all the exponents turn into a thought bubble which creates more and sometimes those smaller thought bubbles turn into another one for the main thought bubble or even creates a new problem for me to solve just by making connections.
for example I was watching the ending of iron man 3 just now and just found a connection to what Tony stark said to what I was just writing ," we start of with something new, innocent and exciting but than comes mistakes and compromise"
any way with so much to hold on to it turns into a whole backlog of data and than I cant process it all and lose track which causes me overload and crash and digress till...... potatoe.........
is there any tips on this specific problem?
