It can be anything which includes a step my brain wants to avoid, even things I want to do.

The thing I want to avoid is often linked to a negative emotion or anticipation of a negative experience (especially conflict or boredom), or a step that I think will be annoying and difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. I can’t always articulate why starting something feels like I have to scale a mountain but I know that anything I can’t start immediately just becomes harder as more time passes.

Some recent examples include:

• My brother has asked me to scan and send him a document. It’s been a week and I think of it every day but I still haven’t done it because the 1st step involves digging through a pile of papers that induce guilt because in 2.5 years I still haven’t sorted them out. So I think, “I can sort the papers at the same time”, and instead do nothing.
• I haven’t checked my post in 3 weeks. The bigger the pile becomes, the harder it is to start. I’m sure it includes bills that are now overdue, so combination of boredom avoidance and shame.
• I really want to start a dance class but need to organise a dog sitter for my puppy first (too young to stay alone for now). A dogsitter I can trust? So hard. I haven’t even tried.

Interesting, thanks

Thanks for the info. In this case, the url is the same but the post title includes the date, which seems to be enough. Also, sensible people sort this community by new 🙂

Thanks

I don’t know about treason but they should definitely be investigated for human rights violations.

F-Droid will also never host any govt authorisation apps, or banking apps. The fact that Microg and the Aurora Store exist shows that F-Droid can’t meet everyone’s needs. De-googling doesn’t mean going completely FOSS for everyone.
