The urge to organize

It’s always addicting to categorize/organize everything
to write notes for everything

pros

it gives you (a sense of) control
it makes it easier in the future to do certain things

cons

but it’s often a waste of time, spending more time organizing than future time saved
it’s addicting and satisfying, just like how ticking a checkbox is.
it might give a false sense of productivity

examples

e.g. a runner who tracks their 200m walk to the pub
they likely don’t need this data, but feel satisfation from tracking everything
making a note for everything, i do this often, even for mundane things
