I created a whole system involving intricatly formatted todo lists saved in markdown files that are then parsed by a python script managed by node red to remind me what I should be doing. I haven't updated the todo list in a month and I just totally ignore the daily reminders.

The big task is overwhelming so I ignore it.

And suddenly none of component tasks seem so important they need my immediate attention when it is broken down.

But also.. there are SO many of them, and that’s overwhelming.
