Precisely. This is how “mount my monitor on the monitor arm I had lying around” became “ream an 8mm hole in my desk”, “find an 8mm drill bit”, “rig a screw driver to ream out the whole by hand”, “ask coworker for a sleeve to make a sleeve for the bolt so it stays still on my desk”, “ream out the brass shell casing he gave me”.

However, after spending 2 hours doing that, I went and did a bunch of stuff I’d been procrastinating doing that were high priority with seemingly way more energy and focus.
