Seems like there is something important socially about being able to tell others what you plan to do and then after the fact share what you accomplished. As a software engineer it can be difficult when the work is so technical that I can't really share it with anybody easily. Trying to friends and family about how the new code using AVX instructions runs a lot faster in a critical section of the code ends up being underwhelming.

Sites like "finish one thing today" calls out again that constant struggle between curiosity and focus. My natural curiosity has been a huge benefit in my life but it certainly gets in the way sometimes when I need it to turn off so I can just focus on the problem at hand.
