The Prosthetic Idea

"If there was a metoforical prosthetic that I could insert into my life to assist me greatly what would that look like be practical and creative" ā€” 2023-10-22 | Personal 2

14 months before building the actual prosthetic.

What I Was Asking For

  • "metoforical prosthetic" ā€” not physical, cognitive
  • "insert into my life" ā€” seamless, always there
  • "assist me greatly" ā€” I knew I needed help
  • "practical and creative" ā€” real solution, not theory

Why I Needed It

I didn't know the word yet, but I knew the problem:

When I shift focus, previous things die.

Not "get deprioritized." Not "fade."

Die.

I needed something external to keep them alive.
