      The real problem is that making lists is an infinitely recursive task, each entry on a list can end up becoming its own list. I will frequently spend all day making a list, instead of doing things.

        When I hyperfixate on finding the “perfect productivity app” for 2 weeks straight instead of actually doing anything lmao

        This is literally how Workflowy, my list-making app of choice, works. And I love it.

    Or my favorite, “here let me show you how to use a calendar.”

    Great, next maybe you could teach a blind kid to ride a bike.

    Here’s me in 6th grade, reading at a college level, learning algebra, picking up coding because it’s fun, and you think the problem is that I don’t conceptually get calendars?

    In all seriousness though, breaking things down helped me a bit. It can be useful in certain situations but of course isn’t a cure-all.
