like, if i’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, i usually feel better. how to maintain the usefulness of this advice without presenting it as ‘fuck your feelings’, in that usual arrogant right wing sort of way

    Woah big disagree.

    Furthest errand first.

    Start with the vegetables.

    Dessert first means nothing else is getting done

      Vegetables first means I’m going to sit here and watch them wilt.
      Dessert first means I’m actually doing the hardest part by far – which is to start.

        How would a vegetable wilt if you’ve eaten it? I think the metaphor is falling over.

        This isn’t about starting at all, it’s about the order of tasks presuming you are ready to begin work

          It would wilt cause I wouldn’t start eating it.
          And this is about starting for me.
