This is my tiny little page. I don’t have much here, yet.

I am a full-time art Coordinator and I work for (and with) CaffeinatedCultist.
I created, Papr + CAARDS (or "PC" for short.) An analog tech-free framework to help with my ADHD.
Writing, notes, reminders, templates: TiddlyWiki, Logseq, Obsidian,
Back-end collaboration, orders, and infrastructure: Git. Gitlab, Codeberg, Forgejo, etc.
I also use a lot of analog soulitons like a "Antinet Zettelkasten" to help with anything else I need.
A good notebook, or scratchpad, journal, goes a long way as well. Pair that with your favourite pen or pencil! Make magic happen!
CAARDS is an acronym that stands for:
CAARDS is the core that slots inside of any Papr Companion. They are 3x5in "blank index cards."
If you already have your PC made, continue reading. If not, please do start with Papr Companion first.
It is possible to continue without having a PC, however I strongly suggest you give PC a try.
This guide works regardless if you bought index cards, or made/cut your own. Blank is preferred, however the back of common lined index cards are often blank in the back. I’ll be using blank for this guide.
We will start with roughly 30 cards, or whatever set amount is for the month you’d like to begin with. Each of these cards is your "daily card" that you will use each day.
Only 365 cards, one card for each day of the year. Or roughly 30 for the starting month.
If you are familiar with the 2min rule of GTD by David Allen, this is what I would suggest starting with. Only instead of "just doing it" I would suggest recording that action/task you just performed or are about to perform.
Starting with small records, that you slowly build overtime. I often found so many other systems to help aid our daily lives very stressful to start and even more stressful to continue or go back and fill in missed days.
This helps get things going without the stress.
Did you brush your teeth this morning? Write it down! Do you have anything planned this week, or even later today? Give it a try, schedule something easy to start with such as making your bed, or doing the dishes. Call a friend, check-in see how they are doing.
Overtime you will build habits, and begin to jot down tasks and events that develop naturally.
As of version 3.1: I have now included the "Daily Dashboard" system by Ryder Carrol (author of the Bullet Journal") as I find the idea of it absolutely helpful to not simply view lists like this as a sort of "supercharged to-do list" as now this is intentional. See credits at the bottom for additional details.
David Allen suggests anything that requires an additional action or a "waiting" phase, would ideally be considered "next tasks" a follow-up.
Not everyone will need an eventually card. I like them as I like to set a lot of loose plans with no set dates, and pull from that list (similar to Chris Kyle’s Strikethru method) and I can add them to my Daily Cards when I need.
Eventually plans are actions that you might want to do one day. Someday. These sit here and if you think you might make something here actionable, feel free to migrate it onto your Daily Card, or Next Card and schedule it.
Examples:
Papr Companion and all of it’s related components (like CAARDS) take heavy inspiration from other authors like;
A very small Yinglet language pack add-on for Better Than Adventure v7.2_01 The pack’s current release only changes anything with a "th" into a "z" or "zh." Giving it that special Yinglet charm!
If you already have BTA installed, it’s as simple as dragging the .zip into the proper folder. This can be accessed on BTA’s main menu screen.
If you need help getting Better Than Adventure installed, please follow the instructions on the official website I linked above. They offer a few different ways to install it, just select the one that works best for you!
I already made a add-on for "Better Than Adventure" why not, ReIndev? All the rules are pretty much the same as before. All "th" letters witin the language file have been replaced with "zh" respectively to give it than special Yinglet charm. If you don’t know what Yinglets are, I suggest you check out the source in the credits below.
Now ReIndev works a little differently with how they handle language packs compared to BTA or even modern vanilla (or b1.7.3 vanilla for that matter.) and this requires 4 plain files to be dropped into the appropriate directory. These files are:
credits.txten_Yinglet.langsplashes.txttips.txtThese files must be placed into your /languagepacks directory. Which you can open up from the main menu from ReIndev. It’s a tiny square button, which can be hard to miss as it’s on the left of quit game.
I had planned on mixing up some of the other sounds like "d" and "t" Changing "the" into "zhe", "de", or "duh" and so on.
The Yinglet species and OOP belong to the author, Val Salia.
All credits are included in the lang_info.json inside the zip.
