No easy way but what I’d recommend is to see if you could recognize the need for the transitions, pause and reconcile yourself to needing to pass through them, expending the energy required to do that. See if you can come to an internal consensus about it, and if you can move in that direction then push forward.
Yes, same thing. Its the switching costs that define the energy difficulty, not the task.

83·2 months agoWhat you’re describing is a transition failure, and it’s one of the most underappreciated executive function challenges. When you were about to sweep, your brain had already built up complete mental and physical momentum for that specific task sequence. The moment you realized you needed the Swiffer upstairs, everything changed. You had to stop the current task flow, navigate to a different location, retrieve an object, and then return and re-initiate the original task. That’s four separate executive function transitions, and each one is a potential derailment point. What looked like “sweep floor” suddenly became “manage a complex multi-step retrieval mission,” and your brain’s motivation system responded accordingly.
For future situations like this, one approach that can help is staging the task equipment, for instance keeping the tools you need in the spaces where you’ll actually use them, even if that means keeping duplicates. It’s all about reducing the number of transitions your brain has to manage. Another strategy is to try to catch yourself in that moment when you realize something is missing and make a conscious choice: either commit to the full retrieval mission as its own separate task, or give yourself permission to pivot to something else entirely without the guilt. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is acknowledge that the activation energy needed to follow through just got too high and let yourself off the hook so you dont feel so guilty.

I struggled emotionally when I left academia for a couple years before and after leaving. Now, years later I’m very happy I left. But I did struggle with re-anchoring my sense of success for a long time. I felt like I had failed because I didn’t stay on the tenure track. But it was fine not being there.

2·5 months agoThere’s an underlying care instinct that needs to be activated. Its emotional; you can’t explain it, they have to experience it… There was a post years ago supposedly describing the empathic awakening of a white supremacist, which occurred as he was waiting to harm or harass a father and son on a bus, and the moment of awakening happened as he witnessed the father expressing his love for his son and something clicked for him, probably because he wanted that sort of affection from his dad and never got it.
