Serious question: what is something I can do if I have no time? I have no time for many weeks. I like using the weekly threads to do something, do anything - only something I definitely would not have ordinarily done though, not something like exercising. I barely even have time to buy one extra serving of food at the store to stockpile.

You'd have to elaborate. Are you always on the go, always working alot? Are you transient? I work 60 hours a week, go to school full-time and have 5 kids under 10. I still reload, garden, read for pleasure, build holsters out of kydex, and do alot of cooking now that I'm on keto. The biggest thing that helped me manage myself better was getting a day planner going and cutting out TV.
To me it sounds like you need to focus on freeing up time for yourself if you're that overwhelmed that even mentally tracking excess in your pantry is an issue.
What is your current BMI, if you don't mind me asking? What are your hours of sleep per night and hours of sleep opportunity per night? I'm very interested in whatever I can learn from people who get huge amounts done every day.
I'm not saying it's very hard to be healthy while being very hard-working. Plenty of people are extremely productive and still get 7-9 hours of sleep per night like Tim Ferriss and are normal-weight like Jeff Bezos.
I listened to Dr. Walker, a sleep expert, on the Joe Rogan podcast and he said something interesting about Reagan and Thatcher. Both prided themselves on sleeping very little and both got dementia.
What are your three best tips for getting lots of things done? Or your one-page summary or something?
More than 200 species of plants were named and used, principally seed and root plants.
...
Children began to learn about and participate in the food quest while very young.
I already turned this article into an audio file (using Balabolka) to listen to while walking, biking, hiking, and working out to go along with all my other audio learning files. This was for personal interest though not prepping.
I just spent 5 minutes beginning a new audio file devoted solely to prepping.
Stinging Nettle
the first leaves emerge from snow or soil in late January (in the Pacific Northwest). The leaves and stem are vibrant green and pubescent (hairy), sometimes with a hint of purple. As the nettle grows, the strongly serrate/toothed margins or edges of the leaves become more evident. Each leaf has a twin on the opposite side of the erect central stem and they’re arranged such that one pair is in the 12 and 6 o’clock positions.
While biking today, I made a quick plan to make 200 entries about edible and useful plants, turn them into audio files, and slowly memorize them over time. They'll each be about 30 seconds long. Once I'm done, I'll be able to talk for 1.7 hours about edible and useful plants of the pacific northwest. I should know the same things as an Indian and start forgetting the things I've been taught to make room, if necessary.
Yes, I'm a transient. I just a bought a 1990 Jeep Cherokee yesterday though to live in so now I'll have more time. That choice of vehicle was partly motivated by prepping concerns.

For example, here's what Ferriss recommends. https://tim.blog/2013/11/03/productivity-hacks/
Maybe reading blogs too much is where all my time goes.

Done.
That reminds me of something.

So that's entry number one.
