I have had a number of patients report significant unease and even anxiety about how much they are tracked on line. Here is an article about a search engine, Duck Duck Go, that does not track you.

I am messing around with some tech and threw this together a while back. Still tweaking a few settings, but figured I’d post this version.
The “Have Done” List
For about 20 years I have been telling my patients to use a “have done” list, instead of a “to-do” list. Sometime during the day, usually near the end, they are to write down any tasks they completed or made progress on. The feedback has been extremely positive. People feel more hopeful and more energized from their “have done” list, and knowing what they have done helps orient them to what to do next. Its much less stressful than staring at a “to-do” list.
Apparently there is now some research support for this. The authors of the following article use a more structured process than I do. I simply ask people to write down what they have done, without planning to do something first. But I imagine their version may work too.
