I am also very confused. The only interpretation that makes sense to me is the list of started/not yet completed tasks, vs. the list of things that were actually followed through to completion. But that is not at all how they’re labelled.
I believe the left check list is stuff no related to the task but stuff to “prepare” for starting the task. For example writing a book, before writing I should change the os on my computer and should read this paper on lexography and watch this video series on character growth arcs and I should buy a cat as good authors tend to have cats, well now I need to buy a cat food bowl and a water dish, I need to learn to use this software to track my writing, oh that can interpret my latex script, what’s latex…several years later…oh the book yeah I’ll start it right after I clean the cats litter box…
I’m reading it as, when starting on some new project or goal, there are all of these preparatory things that have to happen first, and the urge to perfectly complete all of those preparations gets in the way of actually starting the actual project/goal.
starting to get real peeved at the vague way you title these memes, i don’t even know what this one’s supposed to mean.
