🐸 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
⚡ redirect
