Even worse as an adult I have bunch of stuff in the back of my head that are “I should do it” but as an adult I can ignore or postpone indefinitely.

Like getting my last wisdom tooth removed. I know I have to do it but now for last 4 years I am “getting myself to do it”.

It is open loop but to close it I have to go through the procedure. Downside is - there is never really good time for it.

Not much reason for most people to get them removed anyway.

The tasks whose only deadline is when you leave the body, I can't believe I forgot those in my OP.

In reality, most of these would not be problems, but they still occupy headspace and linger at the back of my mind.
