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.
1 / 2
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.
