The Not-Now List

Act as a focus strategist. Help me create a system for parking good ideas and non-urgent tasks without letting them distract me.

• Current Distractions: [What keeps pulling attention away]
• Main Priority: [What needs focus now]
• Review Frequency: [How often I want to revisit parked items]

Task: Create:

1. A Not-Now list structure.
2. Rules for what goes on the list.
3. Rules for what does not belong there.
4. A review routine for deciding what becomes active.
5. A script for telling myself or others, “not now.”

Present this as a focus-preserving system.
