TFA says the task could be procrastination too

> And don't forget that it could be "take a nap"!



Do you honestly think that my procrastination, or any other activity, needs permission from a list? There is nothing of substance that comes from writing something down, doing it, and crossing it off. It's a ritual of submission to your executive function. That submission has a price.

Look, I'm making an appeal to you, guys. This is called "Hacker News." Have all you Hackers gone corporate? Maybe you don't agree with me, but is my point really merely "self-absorbed" or "stupid" as one wag has put it?


You need to check your own privileges

Not everyone has had the luxuries of your life, some people need to actually work hard to get somewhere in life

Don't overgeneralize your experiences into others
