<Update label="2026-05-17">
  Progress update: The next section of the Extended Mind System – **the operations collections** – is well underway and taking shape. It covers your resource budget, priorities, routines, projects, and daily planner + log – five connected and interrelated components that need to be documented together. It's a lot of ground to cover and will take time to get it right. No ETA at this time. Stay tuned.

<Update label="2026-04-26">
  * Reduced project scope to focus solely on Notion implementations. References to Obsidian implementations have been removed from the Extended Mind System docs. May revisit Obsidian in the future.
  * Added header images to Artcles and the Extended Mind System Overviews to break up the wall of text and provide a visual anchor for each section.
