Doing a big puzzle and it’s weirdly calming to solve tiny little well defined problems.

same reason I believe video games are often so satisfying: we get to complete well-defined tasks with rewards, often in the same day or session, vs. toiling away for weeks or months irl with little to no reward.

building /juicebox | product marketing & growth | prev. NounsDAO, RAW DAO | learning to code

daily quests in games are soooo satisfying, I could do that shit for hours and not bat an eyelash but somehow irl tasks are so much more daunting

it’s true. when i couldn’t do yardwork or gardening or pretty much anything one of my favourite things was farming in stardew valley

Clarity and goal setting always increases productivity, funny to think you can complete 4 missions on a video game in one day but would be lazy to do any work related stuff, lesson in there 😅
