Ledger

Keep one running page that carries current status forward: what is open, what changed, what you decided, and the next action. Unlike a checklist of tasks, it records accumulated state over time so you can resume mid-stream without rebuilding context.

Example

One page for the family: "Pediatrician follow-up booked Nov 12. Carpool ours through Friday. Field trip form signed, not mailed. Open: Saturday gift, budget $25. Next: mail form Monday." After a chaotic week you read it and resume instead of reconstructing.
