The process of making intentions and commitments is all too easy,

the problem is that if they are not tended, they drain energy and
can cause problems.
An example is leaving something on the stove, by being distracted by
the idea, from another, of going out for a walk, wrapped up in the walk, the stove is forgotten, the pan burns, etc.

So,
- minimize commitments and intentions, and
keep close track of those,
- don't be distracted, don't allow your senses to draw you out,
- track your intentions, and if they are no longer of interest,
delete them,
