I’ve found that breaking a daunting task down into concrete steps and eating away at it in baby steps helps me get it done. When I take Concerta, it helps me focus on the boring nitty-gritty bits, and it enables me to focus on activities like reading where you don’t have to do any planning. But the actual process planning/task breakup stays just as cognitively straining as before and becomes the new bottleneck to my productivity. Can this also be fixed with a pill, or does everyone have it this hard and is it a skill that you get better at over time?

      No. Scrum is more than a label on common-sense problem breakdown. If it were, then it’d just be riding the coat-tails of established canon.

          Yeah “common sense” is normally just “things I believe with no justification so I can’t explain why I believe them.”
