Sounds like you need an assistant haha. I’m glad your system is working though.
Just in case it wasn’t obvious, there are a bunch of “Expect X to have happened by now” type tasks in there.

These are basically dead man’s switches to remind me to check on someone else’s progress vs a timeline - ala @patio11’s “dangerous professional”

GTD (Getting Things Done) has a similar concept called "Waiting for".
Thanks, it’s grown organically over the 10+ years I’ve used it.

I’ve also used a variety of EAs over the years, and in my experience reliability is highly variable. The great ones are amazing.
