The last few minutes before leaving can suddenly look big enough for one more job. You start something tiny, then time disappears and the simple departure becomes a frantic dash.
- deciding to unload the dishwasher when you need to leave in two minutes
- starting a quick email after putting on your coat
- watering one plant and somehow moving on to the whole garden
- trying to tidy the bench while everyone else is waiting in the car
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.
"You're making us late on purpose!"
"If I don't do this now, the thought of it will drain my energy the entire time we're out."
"Why are you starting a whole new project right now?"
"This task feels tangible and rewarding. The idea of 'leaving' feels abstract and difficult."
"You always seem so scattered before we go anywhere."
"I'm just trying to create one tiny island of order before I face the chaos of the outside world."
