Normal life is not generally complex. I see only from my point of view, of course. It seems that most people’s day to day rarely changes out of a selection of a few expected outcomes. There are a few who seek the new and different deliberately on the regular, but just the few.
Yesterday was the “busy day.” There were several new experiences. However to me, this variety of “new experiences” are slower-than-I-want going learning experiences. (Whine, yes, … I do on occasion.) Some of that is good, of course. The new tasks add needed variety to the doldrums of another day at work. The problem is the busy. Busy days should go fast as time is occupied. However, attention is unfocused, moving one to the next to the next. Worse still, only one task can be considered finished. The others are handed off to a next shift or an alternate handler without closure.
Manufacturing a closure supplies a reasonable end. This is a common trick. But the trick fails to satisfy the need for closure, the need to know a task is finished, completed, finalized.
Maybe we hang to much meaning on the completed puzzle, people like me. After all, is progress not success of a kind? Procedures and processes are common in life too. They can require long investments before a goal is satisfied.
It is an idea I still chew on to this day. I wonder how common this particular neuroses is?
