Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Every morning I burn my freshest hour just deciding what to do, and while I’m dithering the inbox fills up and quietly hijacks my whole agenda before I’ve made a single real choice for myself.
- There’s one hard thing I’m dreading, so I "warm up" on easy busywork to feel productive
- The task is so huge and shapeless I don’t even know where it begins, so I just freeze and avoid it
- I treat every task as if it counts the same and spread myself evenly across all of them
- I get something to ninety percent and then jump to the next shiny thing, and now I’ve got a dozen almost-done tasks open at once
