  • Also, I have to prepare for a presentation by Friday and compile documents by Friday.
  • Mental health tends to be compromised when indefinite task with no “completion” present is doubled
  • This time, I knew that if I took on the project vaguely, I would go bankrupt, so I decided to take on two specific tasks with priorities.
    • Visualization of low priority even if tasks are to be added
    • Obviously, when it came to something better than I could do, I asked the right people to do it.
  • tired feeling
  • I took a long break and got my head straight.
    • The recognition of “two unknown tasks that do not exist at completion” is already a bug in itself, and it is not being recognized properly.
    • Project A: Friday until 8 p.m.
      • Task A1: Hard, just hard, no right answer, no completion
      • Task A2: Small, puzzle-like, challenging but I think I can do it, can’t wait to try it
      • Just the juxtaposition of these two is already going to bug me about task management.
    • Project B: Friday, 12:00 p.m.
      • Less important than A, but deadlines are ahead.
      • Task B1: Experiment of unknown duration
      • Task B2: Create lecture materials based on B1
    • Task C: Bug fixes, affecting A
    • Task D: Major update, needs to be done as soon as possible after release of A
  • I see
  • Okay, here’s what I’ll do.
    • 0: Check first to see if C can be easily fixed, D won’t until A is done.
      • ✅Bug not reproduced, pass this time, next action is to introduce Sentry.
    • 1: A1 by dividing the time and estimate the overall time required.
    • 2: Review the plan in light of this.
    • 3: Separate time A2 and do not spend too much time
    • 4: B’s are expunged from the brain.
      • Defeat Plan: No experimentation, no documentation, direct opening of the paper for commentary
  • Tasks that are never completed will expand as time allows, so the only way is to set a time limit.
  • I think a good percentage of what is described by the term “busy” is just “failing task management.
    • The reason why you think you are “busy” for “a task that can be done in a lighthearted manner” is because you are confused because you have failed in task management.
    • The state in which there are “an unmanageable amount of tasks” is caused by a failure in task management in the previous section “Selection of Tasks”.
      • I fail a lot./villagepump/基素.icon
    • The expression “busy” reflects the implicit assumption that there is a “busy situation” outside of you, but in fact something inside of you is creating that situation.
    • TaskManagement
  • The story of a man who doesn’t help out with the housework, using “I’m busy with work” as an excuse.
    • If “busy” is like the above, then I don’t see how putting pressure on someone who is confused and failing at task management to do household tasks is going to improve things.
      • That situation itself is a failure of team management.
      • It might be possible to see it by stopping for a moment./villagepump/inajob.icon
    • Can’t afford to manage to clear up the mess.
      • I don’t have the time or the mental capacity.
      • It’s just a “project under fire for mismanagement”.
      • If that’s the case, then it’s a “failure of even higher management” to ask that fire team to solve the problem within the team.
      • If it were a software project, a situation where a strong engineer would be brought in to put out the fire.
      • What if we put in a home that’s on fire, and put in a motsuyotsuyotsuyotsuyotsuyotsuyotsu housekeeper?
        • The housekeeping side of the house doesn’t seem to get flamed very often./villagepump/inajob.icon
        • Like right after the birth?/villagepump/nishio.icon
        • It could be before the move or something./villagepump/inajob.icon
        • And then there’s the family member with corona…/villagepump/nishio.icon
          • If you want to combat the declining birthrate, you’d better increase the number of programs that reduce the risk of childcare…
          • 内閣ベビーシッター券などがありますね/villagepump/inajob.icon
            • Was nursing leave a government program? I’m grateful for that, too.
          • 病児保育は自治体のやつがあるな、登録してるけど使ったことない/villagepump/inajob.icon
            • It’s hard to ask for a regular babysitter when you have a sick child.
        • Usually my house.ベビーシッターさんを使ってるのでこのパターンですね/villagepump/inajob.icon
          • Not really a flameout, but a break from mental health.
            • The company has a babysitter as part of the company benefits program, so it’s a big deal if you don’t use it.
              • Whoa, upper management is a good management pattern./villagepump/nishio.icon
                • As a result, employees are less likely to have trouble at home, increasing productivity.
          • good prospect (e.g. marriage, business)/villagepump/nishio.icon
            • So, in managerial terms, you’re preventing a fire by making sure there’s plenty of room to maneuver?
            • If there is a sudden problem, etc., it can be absorbed if there is enough time.
            • If you can’t afford it, the dominoes fall.
        • during this periodきみは赤ちゃんという10年くらい前の出産エッセイ本を読んで、10年の変化事情に関心が出ている/villagepump/はるひ.icon
      • 「服屋に行くための服がない」みたいな話/villagepump/yosider.icon
        • Not enough room to make room.
        • If someone doesn’t have clothes to go to the clothing store, should we give them clothes?
  • I told my wife, “I don’t know why you’re trying to hide the fact that you lost your ring.”
    • Wife: “If the person is an emotion type who gets angry or cries about the other person losing the ring, it is possible that the idea of hiding it because it is a pain in the ass arises. And emotion types are more likely to do that.”
    • I see.
    • And then there’s the situation where it’s a one-of-a-kind ring, handmade by both parties, and it’s a bad idea, he said.
      • Neither of us are the emotive type, so I never thought of making them homemade.
        • Is there a relationship between emotion type and handmade type?/villagepump/yosider.icon
        • I thought it was insanely relevant./villagepump/nishio.icon
          • We see no value in handcrafting rings.
    • Sure, there have been times in the past when I’ve been like, I’m not going to tell you today./villagepump/inajob.icon
  • Task A1 is done.
    • worn-out (as opposed to sleepy)
    • rest
  • I’ve been thinking about doing Task A2, but I’m just not feeling up to it.
    • Maybe it’s because my wife is tiaquin on TV.
    • Maybe it’s because of the growth of Task A3.
  • Uh, let’s just take a walk for now.
