• I’ve got five things going at once and I’m proud of how much I’m “juggling,” but I never actually go deep on any of them
• I’ve got five things going at once because juggling them feels efficient, but I never actually finish anything

• I have eleven tabs open and four half-started things going at once, and I end the day exhausted with nothing actually finished
