  • Very much agree with the first two paragraphs, very much disagree with the third paragraph. “Exceptionally bad”?! Compared to what? I’d say that one or two open world games of the last ten years really stand out but Cyberpunk is comparable to the average. And I would guess it’s quite enjoyable if you already enjoy the cyberpunk genre. Anecdotally, the side quests and side characters seem to elicit very divergent appreciations.






  • Ok those are really big things. For those really big intimidating things, I found Barbara Oakley’s book/lectures on procrastination quite helpful. I think they are on YT. They helped me get unstuck during my PhD. For the smaller recurring things, let me know if you find a good strategy :) When it’s non-life-changing fun stuff (e.g. music/drawing/crafts), I try to focus on the joy that I get out of even just dicking around instead of how I suck compared to Picasso.


  • Does it have to do with the difference between one-off tasks and recurring tasks? I’ve asked myself similar questions to yours and sometimes I wonder if tedium is harder to accept when you know that, even if you finish this task today, you’ll have to do it again tomorrow, next week, etc. So why not skip it this once? (We all know it’s never just once)
