Anyway, I have been thinking for a while about arranging my daily cards in "clusters". Why? Now that I'm more habituated, having a single card for each duty is a little too much reminding. But I always get overwhelmed by huge to do lists or detailed routines. So I re-did my yellow cards so that each one is in a cluster of three. The idea is that they'll be associated in my mind so I will be on auto-pilot, which is good, auto-pilot for automated tthings:
These are roughly in order of how they occur in the day:
