Nothing ever needs to be done right now. I describe it as a balloon that slowly deflates. I never need to pump air into it at a specific time, as long as I do it regularly enough.
I optimise for low overhead and minimal maintenance. Whenever I create something, I consider the effort it will take to keep it updated for years. I have finite energy, so I take on a finite amount of obligations.
I do that until I can look at the entire thing at once; see that all the important parts are there and in the right order; see that no non-essential parts are present; and have it all make sense from a bird's eye view.
Only once that's done do I move it over to the computer and finish working with it there.
