Ugh, yes. I’m going through a rough relationship patch where we’ve separated to work on ourselves and the relationship.
My natural inclination is to pursue and put in effort until I drop, but the smart move is almost always to wait. For days, even weeks. There have been a few instances where I felt like my last move was an eternity ago. Nope, just two days. Not even full days. Torture!
I’ve got a monthly scheduled transfer from one of my bank accounts to another that is mildly problematic every month. I need to change the amount, but to do that, I’ve got to go to the bank during business hours.
It has been nearly a year that I’ve needed to do this. I would like to hope I’ll get it done before 2026, but I suspect I’ll still have it on my to do list in June.
Uhm, mine is:
5 minutes: TOO short,
10 minutes: TOO long!
3 hours: Busy things only!
2 weeks: Yep! Just not today.
Next year: Okay, it’ll be, eventually!

As opposed to … ?
Sometimes for me, it’s also:
5 minutes = fictional
3 hours = one snooze
2 weeks = tomorrow
Next year = soon (as in “I’ll get around to it soon")
Sometimes it feels like years pass faster than days do.

2 weeks; truly abstract art. Who can even remember two weeks ago? I can’t.
5 minutes for me is more like one blink or 2/3rds of a psych myself up to do something.
