For 603 weeks I have kept my thinking in the same place. Workflowy holds 11000 bullets now. Ideas, half-formed arguments, todos, plans, the shape of projects I have not started. When I want to know what I think, I open it and look.
It has been there the whole time. While everything around it changed, the place stayed the same. This is the tool that keeps my life in order.
Last week I created 9 bullets and completed 1. I changed 13 others. That is not a list failing to keep up with me. That is the order working. The order was never about finishing. It is about having one place to put everything, a place I trust enough to return to every day.
11000 bullets, carried week after week, and I still know where to look. That is not clutter. It is a memory I built on purpose, outside my own head, because my own head was never going to hold it.
After 11 years it is no longer where I keep my thinking. It is part of how I think.
