All those small things, tasks that don't feel worth doing. They don't offer enough gains. There is no reward. Nobody really misses them, or at least thing they are urgent. You might even learn to live with them.
But they pile up. First there is one, two, ten... Too many to handle. Alone, meaningless but together a nuisance. You'd have better things to do. More important tasks to tackle. It's just too hard to focus, too hard to start because of those small annoying things.
After the cleanup nothing really changes. They are done for sure, those miniscule impediments but the feeling of accomplishment is missing. Except when you look at your next big thing. A task that has been waiting to be done, the thing that matters. There is nothing stopping you from starting it now. You don't even have to complete it to get the satisfaction. Nothing can stop you now. Just don't let those pesky little blockers pile up ever again.
