Anyhow, if you're the kind of person who has similar struggles, might be worth trying out (the free Chrome extension works great). I'd suggest making the first item on your list "make to-do list".
In other news, finally got around to watching Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them with the family. Not a bad movie, though the dialog was a little hard to understand at times. The main issue, I think, is that one of the storylines really needed to be cut so that the other two could get fleshed out a little more. As is, there's some whip-lash tonal changes and the whole thing feels very ... I dunno. Surfacy. The very mixed reports I'd been hearing about the whole thing make more sense now. Don't know that I'd really recommend it, but if someone was already interested, I wouldn't try to dissuade them.
On the other hand, Supernatural's "Twigs and Twine and Tasha Banes" was a nice piece of pod-person horror which had two stories to tell and balanced them nicely. Although this season sometimes feels a bit like Sam and Dean wandering through other peoples' stories instead of the other way around, I'm finding it a fun change of pace--kind of a breather from the usual case of having everything sitting on their shoulders.
