Medium

Your internal clock is a dirty liar, and it’s time to stop the negotiation. This guide transforms that task you’ve been ghosting into a concrete timeline by applying a realistic 'ADHD tax' to your optimistic fantasies. You are going to slice your dread into microscopic movements and finally account for the mandatory wall-staring session so you can face the clock with actual data.

Stop Guessing: Real Time Estimates for Ghosted Tasks

1

Pick the one task you are currently ghosting.

2

Slice that task into three pathetic, tiny pieces.

3

Assign fifteen minutes to each piece.

4

Double the total time to pay the ADHD tax.

5

Add ten minutes for staring blankly at a wall.

6

Scribble the final number on your hand or a post-it.

Stop negotiating with your own delusions and accept that time is a predator. You have the number, the post-it is staring you down, and the wall is done with you. If you’re tired of doing the manual labor of being a person, Quantizar can automate this breakdown so you can skip the math and get straight to the doing.
