My general suggestion is to get a little more context about the understanding the brain to extract frameworks of intelligence.

Two books general, popular books on the subject I recommend are:

1/ The Master Algorithm - Pedro Domingos 2/ On Intelligence - Jeff Hawkins

It's a good idea to read Jeff's previous book to see how he's built upon the original vision in A Thousand Brains.

This is true.

Existing systems really solve an extreme user's issues or are too limited in their ability to be flexible to a user's (in this case, my) requirements.

Yeah, going ahead with the no-code/low-code solution seems most plausible.

The challenge is to not over-engineer it and make it an ambit for my own fallacies or lapses in behaviour. Keeping it light, balanced, and focused should be the priority.

I think the emotional side of things can come in a bit later as what I am looking for is that core, objective follow-up and motivation for task completion as well as a progress update on every weekend, month-end, and year-end.

Yeah.

This seems like the most straightforward, practical approach.

I am really considering building my own tools this time but I really wanted to get a feel of what worked for other people. I don't want to be in a situation where I have already committed to build something and halfway through, I find a simple-enough solution that works well.

But yeah, sheets is a great way to think about, probably the most objective.
