> To whom it’s directed?

It is directed towards a person who would write some software with clear expectation of money and release it for free.

It is directed towards himself.

Why should the non-important activities be done at all?

If I delegate something urgent and non-important to another, doesn’t that:

1. Urgently interrupt someone else?

2. Set them up to urgently ask me questions about something unimportant.

3. Burn some of their trust in me when they complete it and I’m not grateful.

?

—————

It seems the bottom two should be:

Urgent & Not Important: Drop

Non Urgent & Not Important: Maybe Play

> setting up a bouncer that takes 30 seconds

Part of the problem is that I've been burned by enough hours spent on 30-second tasks.

They could publicly shame the US, UK, and France about abandoning an ally without putting up a fight. This humiliation would threaten

1. Those nations' ability to sell military hardware to the leaders of resource-rich nations.

2. Those nations' politicians ability to avoid a governing coalition between the radical far right and newly-angry moderate conservatives.

There are enough responses on this thread that sound like "only a psychopath or an artist could have come up with this." or "It sounds like prison! Gosh" or "This is like living in a nightmare tbh." that if anyone does find this helpful, they're going to have a hard time mustering the courage to admit it. This is especially if true of the sort of more junior people who might struggle to know when to ask for help vs when to avoid interrupting someone.

I would advise reaching out to https://www.focusmate.com/, whose users would likely also find this product useful.

1. Be willing to accept run of the mill advice. Your problem is not tricky—it is instead dreadfully frightening and painfully difficult.

2. Go for a walk outside while listening to Brené Brown audiobooks.

3. Talk to humans who can actually calmly listen —- Not people as disconnected as an internet forum nor someone as intertwined as a life partner.
