just spent 36 hours anxiously procrastinating on a task that ended up taking literally 90 seconds of incredibly easy button clicking

The struggle is real. Tech in its quest to automate and make our lives easier has unintentionally spawned an infinite and multiplying amount of form completion for humanity

This was at least 10% of my 20s. It was a lucky quirk that a common coping strategy was reading books.

I am also terrible at estimate task duration, if I haven't done it before. I'll dive into something that I thought would be easy and it'll take hours. then I'll agonize over something that seems like it'll be hard and it'll take 2 mins. Gahh!!
