Game in the Brain

 TRPGs and Work. 

The wife and I were talking about our Approaches to personal projects. She’s like everyone and the majority – when it comes to personal projects her approach is different and has higher tolerance and slack – in TOC high slack prevents cascading failures – which is why most people prefer it in personal projects. 

I on the other hand still have a MUNCHKIN heart – If I discover a Good technique I apply it both in Work and Personal. So I keep a Personal Log, Analysis, and Spreadsheets – I use google forms to track expenses, I munchkin and data analyze shit I do. 

this stems from the Optimization Game Theory mindset – if X method is optimal then why use any other method? Of course, I introduce a bit more slack when I can – but I fail to be consistent I begin to have Memory conflicts – did I do this for work or at home? With my Attention Limitations – How I know I did something is Consistency Since I have Limited Short term memory and Concentration compared to most people – the Way I know I did something is from a Feeling – its now part of my subconscious – because I don’t have working memory that can process all the stimuli – I just get a bad feeling if I didn’t do it in a particular system and way. 

With a HUGE backlog of Issues – the Single System approach is best for me. Those with better Context management because they have more Working Memory than me – they can manage slack better.
