I had a conflict with work and needed to leave by 1PM to get home by 2, so I could be at the thing 10 minutes from my house at 2:30…
By the time I sat down at my desk, my brain wouldn’t let go of the fact that I needed to leave soon, so I shouldn’t get involved in anything that will take too long.
Also my brain: things that take too long means anything that will take more than 20 minutes.
… It’s 9AM. I have FOUR HOURS before I need to leave, but if a task will take a half hour, well, screw it, I gotta go soon 🤪 better put it off until tomorrow! 🤡
