from Diary 2024-09-24 The feeling of needing time off - Three variables of the game - > Hurry up when you should hurry up.

  • busy
  • Many people are concerned that they are so busy with immediate busyness that they are not able to think about non-urgent but important things from a long-term perspective.
  • When there is a certain “task to do
    • We can procrastinate because we’re not explicitly told to do it.
    • Even if you’re not explicitly told to do it, you can take action now because you need it anyway.
  • When one “task X to be done” requires the result of another person’s task Y
    • This is not an appropriate headline.
      • It is implicitly assumed that task X is atomic
    • What I wanted to say.
      • You have a choice to do what you can now to progress project X and “wait for the results of Y” or not to take action until the results of Y are available.
