Future-You Note

Leave a note for the version of you who won't remember why this mattered.

What this is for

You know something right now that you won't know later — where you left off, why you were annoyed, what you meant to do next.

When to use it

Right before you stop a task, close a tab, or walk away from something half-done.

What you leave with

A short note that hands your next self exactly what they need, no re-thinking required.

What are you stepping away from?

Pick one to keep going.

Why this can help

A quick written cue at the point of stopping does the remembering for you later — this borrows from implementation-intention research on linking a cue to an action.
