🐸 collection

  • reorganize something unrelated
  • open new tabs “for research”
  • check messages / notifications
  • tweak something that doesn’t matter
  • start a different, easier task
  • look for the “perfect way” to begin
  • write it in my planner (the /dev/null of all books)
  • stare at it and then leave

🧠 why this happens

  • the task feels unclear
  • the task feels too big
  • i don’t want to do it wrong
  • something easier gives instant relief
