Zagadka & Slacker
So, ever thought about why we keep putting off the easiest thing on our list, like that email that could be done in five minutes, and somehow end up making bigger decisions?
This looks pretty good. (We’re just……….. …...??)
I’ve got a theory that the act of avoiding a quick task is a way to cheat on the day’s boring part and sneak into something more interesting. What do you think?
It’s a classic brain shortcut—our mind wants to avoid the low‑value “drip‑drip” of routine, so it swaps the tiny email for something that feels like a real decision. In a way it’s a way to cheat the boring part, but it also feeds the same drive for novelty. Want to try tracking the pattern and see if the theory holds up?
