Your to-do list doesn't fail because you lack discipline. It fails because it doesn't know you.
KOMPAS is an Obsidian system I'm building that learns from how you actually behave — tracking intervals between actions, surfacing tasks when they're due based on your own patterns. No rigid schedules. No guilt. A compass, not a whip.
