Alternatively: Just pretend task doesn't exist.

It's called "compartmentalization" and it's a healthy coping mechanism, or so I tell myself.

[-] BruceAlrighty@lemmy.nz 25 points 1 week ago

I’ll put it on my to-do list.

Now if I could just remember to look at my to-do list.

[-] piracysails@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

Just add another to-do about that?

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but which one? One in Obsidian, the Google Tasks one or an unsaved tab in Notepad++ one?

[-] pixelscript@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Remember that Trello board you started that you quickly abandoned?

[-] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

The one I forgot, obviously.

[-] Evilschnuff@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

It’s about field of view. I have the same issue with my calendar and try to make it more visible now.

Most tasks only benefit you indirectly, so they are considered worthless by your lizard brain.

Just get comfortable and have something to eat and you are golden. Maybe masturbate from time to time.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Maybe masturbate from time to time.

Now I don't have time for tasks.

[-] exu@feditown.com 2 points 1 week ago

Time to time as in occasionally, not from the beginning to the end of time.

[-] fakir@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks, my lizard brain is already making these decisions by default, but your words validate my behavior.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

But then they'll just be replaced by new ones.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

This is completely ignoring all of the time you need to expend on building up the motivation to do said task

I stress about tasks I'm not motivated to complete, the ones I'm motivated to do don't bother me at all

[-] cron@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

I will do it tomorrow, no need to be stressed about this task today.

[-] credo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

This needs to be posted in ADHD

[-] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

A task in a vacuum isn't that bad, but the reality is that there hundreds if not thousands of little fucking fuck little task that adds up pretty quickly.

Yeah, taking out the trash isn't that long, but I have 50 other things to do also at the same time.

[-] moonbunny@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Or the task can’t be done because you need to complete another task before and after.

It’s great to take out the trash, but I have to find another trash bag to replace and then maybe the bin could use a cleaning too.

[-] countrypunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

This is a TARGETED attack

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Learn to say "no", "I'm busy" and "fuck off"

[-] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What if your task is later in the day? How do you stop from stressing about it the whole day?

[-] countrypunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

What if I just did my task right before I go to bed...

No, I'm too tired, I shall do my task tomorrow.

What if I just waited until the afternoon to do my task, I want to relax.

Oh my, where'd all the time go? I should do it before I go to bed.

falls asleep

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I have learnt this the hard way

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Me too, but I'm still not gonna do it.
