*Feeling the pressure of a big task*

*Dividing it into smaller tasks*

*Feeling the pressure of so many tasks*

@mayaisloading "quantity has its own quality" the mean version.

@mayaisloading

I'm so lucky my memory is shit, so when I divide, I forget that I have a lot of tasks, and start doing small tasks one by one :D

@mayaisloading Sounds like death by a thousand tasks...
@mayaisloading
This is exactly how it starts…
@mayaisloading I have never felt so understood.

@mayaisloading I'm currently experimenting with, not identifying all the smaller tasks, but just identifying the *first* smaller task, the smallest possible, so small even my silly brain thinks it's silly not to just immediately do it.

This has helped me with some things. I don't know if it'll keep working (and doubt it'd work for everything anyway) because whenever an organisational technique starts working for me, my brain gets smart to it and rejects it, like a cat being pilled.

@mayaisloading I feel this on my bones.
@mayaisloading still, it's the best approach.
@mayaisloading The worst for those of us with ADHD, is the blank sheet of starting a new thing. That's a massive hurdle.
@mayaisloading See it this way: Smaller tasks can be ignored way better...

*Feeling the pressure of having to divide it into separate tasks*

*Procrastinate*

What is actually the max value of Jira ticket ID? Because, I am working on ticket BNR-2147483647 and I am afraid this will be our last ticket ever. Next value…

The comic is by @MrLovenstein , but I haven't had any luck finding it on his site.
@mayaisloading *Avoiding the pressure for 3 months so you don't get crushed = you no longer care about the size of a task, because catching up with the backlog is no longer possible. And without the joy of a job well done, you just give up. The best you can do is avoid the hard deadlines, so people won't get mad at you...* Anyway, what was the question?
