or your “minds eye” imagines the finished product and the little dopamine from that imagination means you don’t actually need to finish anything. looks at my notes for a research paper. or my novel idea. or woodshop…
Yeah, follow through is not always the same dopamine but that the idea/planning was for sure. I have a continuous list of things that I think of, and research the hell out of, then move onto the next oh shiny! ...
Or, get Stuck at hour 0.5 due to a completely unimportant decision and then complain the rest of your time that’s it not even worth it because you’re not going to finish it anyway.
And never actually finish said thing so be even more exhausted with nothing to show for it 😅
