    • “Taking a shower is a major hurdle when starting work.”

    • “Exercise should be restructured as an independent activity rather than a task before showering.”

      • Instead of getting stuck, it’s fine to take a shower as many times as needed (blu3mo)
  • “You must do this before taking a shower.”

• Currently, I am writing this without taking a shower.

  • Why am I not going to shower?
    • Because I can go anytime.
  • Why do I want to go to the shower?
    • Feeling sweaty is uncomfortable.
    • I want to start Pomodoro after feeling refreshed.
  • I don’t feel like going right now (for example, within 10 seconds), but I feel like going soon.
    • Continuing this feeling leads to delaying taking a shower.
    • There seems to be a bug in evaluating action choices.

• It feels like the idea of “choosing whether to go to the shower or not” is fundamentally wrong.

  • It would be better to habitually think of showering as something to do as soon as possible.

• For now, if there’s time to write this article, why not go?
