how my Sundays typically go: I wake up, 70 emails I remember I still have 8 tasks from last week that I told my boss I would do by EOD Sunday I remember that “inboxes are a todo list that anyone can write to” meaning I have 78 tasks to get through today

@dejavucoder @noampomsky I decide that the meta-task of prioritizing my tasks is more important than doing any particular task, and also get the vague feeling that I spend too much time snoozing emails / rearranging tasks, and then think that I think about how much I'm thinking about tasks too much

I realize that if I pick a random task and “just do it” as @dejavucoder / @noampomsky recommend that in the course of completing it I'll remember that I haven’t prioritized the other tasks and that there might be a more important task I ought to be doing instead

@dejavucoder @noampomsky @getcoldturkey draws me out of my rarefied, second-order-thinking miasma ("what's my endgame with metaposting? does anyone even care?") and reminds me that, after 30 minutes of planning and drafting this thread, I still don't know what I'm supposed to do today. i'll catch u later
