I have a question DDT fam…
When you have things to do, like you know, a list of tasks say for the day or next day, do you visualise yourself doing them (when you think about the task)?
Yea. In the biz it's called hyperphantasia. Pretty common. For me I visualise things that can go wrong heh.
Ooo, I was waiting for someone to mention what it was called.
I do the same (what can go wrong). I totally see and visualise the whole thing.
Kinda. I'll look at my list and visualise in which order I'm gonna accomplish it. Like in my head I'm thinking "put a load of washing on then do some dishes".
Yes. I do a general visualisation for to do lists. I do a detailed step by step visualisation when I am learning something, I imagine myself doing the task or whatever it is.
Yep, definitely
Oh god no, If I have to write it down I already probably don't want to do it, the list is so that I don't have to think about it (because it's on the list). I'll get to the list when I'm in list mode.
I visualise the process not the procedure if that makes sense.
Depends how motivated and/or lazy I am
Sometimes if I'm lazing around in bed, I think about doing it so much, at some point, it actually flips in my mind to being marked "done", and then an hour or two later when I notice it is, in fact, not done, I realise I never actually did it despite thinking I did
If I have a list that I'm going through though, no. Unless it's something I'm stressed about. If I'm stressed about it but have other things to do first, then I can either stress about it so much I do everything else poorly, or I try to put it aside to stop myself from ending up in an early grave, and then forget about it altogether
(I'm not a very functional or productive human being, in case nobody has realised yet)
Nah I just follow the list
