Reminds me of this:
- Haha this is a scene in inside out 2
this, except it's just an upsetting reminder that the task I'm putting off is not even that hard, yet I'm still not doing it.
- Have you ever been tested for ADHD? I don't want to go around diagnosing people but this kind of executive dysfunction is central to it
  Do you sometimes agonize on and off for hours over a task that could be done in 30 minutes?
  
  never been diagnosed.
  agnizing over tasks happens often, and at the same time I'm not actually bringing any pleasure to myself by avoiding it.
That would be way too much work
How do you ignore an elephant?
- Is this elephant you speak of in the room with us?
  
  I don’t remember. What do I look like, an elephant?
- One byte at a time
So true - I have a huge overwhelming cleanup job and finally broke it down to …. How about just collect obsolete electronics like cordless phones in a box for recycling? That’s it. Quick and easy. But I’m successfully ignoring it
Then vacuum the floor full of smaller tasks. No more tasks and the floor is vacuumed.
now my list is longer
