    And that’s how I ended with usually waking up 15-20min (+/-10min snooze) before having to leave for work. No time to think, just do.

    i usually explain it like that:

    on a good day when i make tea i only see 3 steps 1) boil water 2) take out a mug & tea 3) pour water over tea bag in the mug & enjoy!

    on a bad day when i make tea i see 11 steps 1) pour water into kettle 2) turn the kettle on 3) find mug 4) take out mug 5) find tea 6) take out a tea bag 7) put tea bag in mug 8) make sure the water doesn’t reach boil [most teas need 90°C to brew well] 9) pour the water into the mug 10) don’t forget to take the mug with you 11) don’t forget to drink once it cools down

    it’s the same action, and on all days i can easily do 3 actions, the problem begins when those 3 actions start looking like 11 actions

      It pisses me off so much when people are like “have you tried breaking up the task into smaller tasks?” Yes Janet, my brain has already broken the task up into infinite smaller tasks. That’s the problem.
