that mental frame where you see the tasks you feel like you have to do first before doing the next one, when you break it down depending on the task, it doesn’t have to follow any specific order, it doesn’t have to be the way it is in your head if it affects productivity, there’s no need to keep this extremely long mental queue + checkboxes, a lot of times you can skip a project, in a lot of cases these people will see a project has to be laid out from 1 to 10 and if 1 isn’t done right, 2 to10 (even if they are totally independent works) stay in limbo.
