it's about your *relationship* with the note taking app
this is a joke but it's also true
a todo list is a terrible boss! that's not a good relationship between you and your app
if you're going to forget that you wanted to do that thing later, do you *really* want to do that thing later?
(sometimes probly yes, like "pay that bill," but for many things you'll either just think of them again later because you actually want to do them, or not & it's fine)

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
but what if you have something you "really need to do"?
there might be a way forward that doesn't involve "forcing" or "tricking" or "willpower" or "self-incentives"
here are some (non-coercive) ideas to get un-stuck:
1/
surrender & see
just REALLY committing to "I won't do it unless I wholeheartedly want to"
this doesn't always work, but often for me (more often than I thought!) the resistance immediately disappears after this promise
if it doesn't work immediately, try some more things:
2/
imagine yourself doing the thing in detail, to convince your gut it is indeed possible!
(sometimes gut thinks something is impossible when it actually is possible. but other times gut is RIGHT, so try to *convince* it like this, instead of *coercing* it)
