       Is there a name for postponing something small (but growing) for another small thing time and time again until the initial thing is so large it's do or die, potentially weighting against another big thing (that always would have been big)?I'm sure there is, just can't think of it. Like, we all probably know this from project management, but I encounter this often in my private life as well. (esp with kids and parenting)

       @Wortex17 If no term exists, I propose something like "snowball procrastination"

       @pseudoriemann but it's not procrastination, as in that moment, the "other" things seemed high prio + low effort enough to outweigh the subject. If the order would be reversed, there would be no issue.it's like.. worst-case sorting.
