Dface's Discussion of "Judging and Fixing Your Own Errors"

Also, there’s a common problem when people start setting some issues aside to come back to later. They find the list grows much faster than they actually go back to and address any issues they saved for later. Eventually they may realize they’ll never do most stuff that they don’t prioritize immediately. Most things being “now or never” is a bad situation to be in.

I swear I read this whole paragraph differently before I started writing about the previous paragraphs. I think what popped up in my mind before was gathering a lot of words that you wanna define later, but then you never get to it cuz you procrastinate or something.

Now im thinking you can set aside the issues like you can with errors. Setting aside errors was talked about in the paragraph before the quote above.

Here’s the first sentence of the quote above:

Also, there’s a common problem when people start setting some issues aside to come back to later.

I see the problem is common. Like, a lot of people deal with it I think. I think the problem is, “deal with the issue later.” How are you going to deal with the issue? When are you going to deal with it? In what order are you going to deal with the issues later?

Here’s the subordinate clause of the sentence above:

@Elliot

when people start setting some issues aside to come back to later.

Why are people setting those issues aside? They want to come back to them later?

The common problem happens at the time the clause above happens. It doesn’t sound bad at first like they can come back to the issues later, but why do they gotta come back to it later?

@Elliot

They find the list grows much faster than they actually go back to and address any issues they saved for later.

It’s like they’re not solving stuff fast enough. “the list” is that of the issues they saved for later.

So according to the quote above, there’s two rates of two things: The first thing is the list of issues that people set aside. That has a rate of growth. I think they’re putting so many issues aside.

The second thing is going back to the list and addressing the issues. The person can do that at a certain rate. The problem is that the list of issues is growing faster than they could solve them.
