@Kevin_Church hey kevin should I cosplay that bunny girl at Arisia y|n

@Kevin_Church whaaaaaaaaaaat

@beep You also probably get eleventy-nine million people emailing you about RWD! You've gotta be defensive for self-preservation!

And hopefully that will deflate some of the "Must finish! Must check this off!" self-pressure on the junk that will never be "finished".

So my mission, if I choose to accept it, is to distinguish between PROJECTS that can be finished and PROCESSES that will never end.

@Kevin_Church brb eating with my hands over the sink

@beep I'm too kind! I've got a hostess complex where I pressure myself to be gracious like Jackie Kennedy and and reply to everyone!

@RobinKimball UGH FOR REAL. Feeling behind on email is my life's background radiation.

@beep Ooh, I like that description - that also covers the resentfulness aspect of "Dammit, I gotta put MY effort into YOUR needs, grahh!"

It's like doing the dishes. I can flip out and have a gigantor binge of dish-doing and clean them all ... AND THEN: New dirty dish ruins it.

I would be hell of less anxious about email if I focused just on building the habit of handling email, not on "getting email done".

This morning's sudden insight: I treat email like it's a project to be completed, but email never stops coming! It's not in my control!
