We live in a fast-paced world. The ability to reply to specific messages in the chat lets you have simultaneous conversations about multiple topics.

I love how with the right person at the right time, these conversations can last for hours, but sometimes you just need to slow down.

So you can further process what is being said.

So you can come back to it with a new perspective.

So you can jot down potential ideas and action items.

So you can remember to use it as the basis for your next writing piece.

So you can let go of the FOMO and trust that you'll remember the details that matter.

Ok, maybe that last one is just me. This undiagnosed ADHDer I often have these types of conversations with doesn't experience this FOMO the way I sometimes do.

I remember because it came up.. well, I brought it up in response to an unrelated topic we were discussing during our multi-topic, multi-hour, late-night conversation just a few nights ago.

Then I remembered how Kristian's genius plan, now in its second iteration, allows us to really slow down and empty out our minds.

The plan?

A shared Google Doc in which we write out things we do throughout the day with as much or as little commentary as we like.

This Doc has existed since a few weeks after my dad's death last year, but back then we just wrote down some goals so we can hold each other accountable and never looked at it again.

This time, we're using a table format. Two columns. Mine on the left, his on the right. One row per day.

It's quite interesting knowing exactly what the other person has been up to when you open the Doc at random times throughout the day.

And of course, having a place to write down the moment and associated thoughts and feelings so that when the other person eventually reads your entry, they can experience that moment with you.

Talk about being on the same page, in a very real and literal sense!

It's like having a private social media feed showing you every update you actually want to read, nothing more, nothing less.

Have you, or would you, ever want to experience this kind of magic?
