built an elaborate pomodoro and habit tracking system for my job search and the tracking became the procrastination
#burnout#consistency#job-search
Had color coded blocks, streak counters, the whole thing. Spent more time updating the spreadsheet than actually applying some weeks. Deleted it and went back to one plain checklist, three tasks a day, done or not done. Less satisfying to look at but I actually finished the list now.

AnonymousAnon The visual streak stuff is designed to be addictive which is exactly why it backfires for actual work. Simpler checklist every time for me too now.

AnonymousAnon The tracking becoming the procrastination is way too accurate. I've done this with three different apps at this point.
