I was listening to a Deep Questions podcast and Cal did a segment on what he calls WorkingMemory.txt, a text file with thoughts that pop up that you jot down to free working memory.

Here is a link to the blog post Cal wrote on the subject – https://www.calnewport.com/blog/2015/10/27/deep-habits-workingmemory-txt-the-most-important-productivity-tool-youve-never-heard-of/.

In the comments to the blog post, people mention several tools to do this offloading. To me, though, I think I am using and will continue to improve on using the Calendar app in Obsidian. That is where I jotted down the note to follow up on this idea.
