Is there even a choice

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Here's the thing. If there's a 1% chance that the task will no longer be necessary by the time it's due, I can't afford to risk wasting the time to complete the task. Much better idea to spend that time in stress-paralysis until there is a 100% certainty of the task being necessary.

Wait, are the rest of you feeling accomplished after finishing tasks?

I have this but only for difficult stuff I am struggling with is that normal?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's pretty normal to view some tasks as "free" mentally and be able to do them without stress. I rarely hit that trap when it comes to cooking - as an example - I think in part because I was raised in an environment where it was fun and improvisation was encouraged. I suspect what we all consider as free has really complex factors though and will vary wildly.
