Had to stop for IRL reasons. Was about to build a coal depot but I knew that saving at a blank screen would be confusing.
I don’t. I’m a software developer in my day job and during that I need to keep my ADHD in check with task lists and tickets…
So whenever I play I pick up something that looks fun and roll with it… if I forgot some plans midstream then I just let them go and do something else.
I, specifically, never want a TODO list item that I’m not looking forward to to be hanging over my head - because then I’ll never pick up the save file again.
That’s one way!
You can also add map markers to your map, with an icon and text. I’ve used these to set goals / reminders of what should be worked on in that area.
My general method to remember what I need to do next session is to name my saves that way. Like “start coal depot.sav”, or “finish steel, fr this time, no distractions.sav”.
Last night my in game alarm went off for low power. I was about to fix it, so I muted it. But then I realized I was done for the night, so I turned it back on, saved, and exited.
So there is no way I forget what my next task is.
In my prime time I had a database of everything (yes it was access and no, it wasn’t good)
I use a kanban, or you can make notes with the in-game displays
Or a Google doc, or just a paper on your desk with notes. :)
