I think this strategy is maybe a common failure mode
at least, my mom does it too
I shall outline the process below:

some assumptions:
A1. basically there are only two types of time
1. Right Now
2. Infinity
1

A2. there are only two types of actions
1. critical
2. pointless
there are no other levels of urgency or importance

A3. wanting to do pointless actions is unvirtuous unless all critical actions are done

A4. if I find myself wanting to do pointless actions, I can either:
1. earn them by doing all of the critical ones first
2. convince myself they're actually critical

A5. any amount of time longer than a week or two is Infinity but also there are different sizes of Infinity into which I can insert plans for actions and goals of varying sizes

This may be helpful: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_num
Cardinalities of infinite sets do vary and some are bigger than others.

yeah there are infinitely many infinities, so many that "the number of infinities there are" is *too big to be an infinity*
