I'm a person! I have emotions! I'm not just collared shirts and floor transition details

Here's the thing I think in most cases people aren't underrated when they say that they what they mean is that they want to be rated more or rated specifically

They're looking for specific recognition and validation which they feel they have not received yet not that they have received negative attention

#[Twitter thread] by Mattias in Space: Untested productivity idea (more of a game; let’s call it Green Lights Only): work on a task until you get distracted from it (or complete it), then stop.

Go to something else—domestic, reading, whatever, but a task that requires focus—until you get distracted from that as well.

The idea is that if you keep doing this, at the end of the day you will have spent the greatest portion of your time doing what you can best focus on.

If you iterate the game, the further idea is that your tasks will end up sorting into two bins: growing and shrinking. Growing tasks you will *learn* to focus on without getting distracted. Shrinking tasks will depart from mind.

(Maybe shrinking tasks departing from mind is *not* what you want—we all have things we want or need to do that are difficult to focus on! But that’s why I’m suggesting this as an instructive game and not a way of life.)

Since deep focus is what tends to yield the most surprising, novel, interesting results, this game could be a good fit for creative types like me with a lot of competing interests. I’ll report back on it. If you try it, please do the same!__
