@th What @yaelwrites is saying, according to me, is:
Person 1: I have been dealing with going to the bedroom to grab my keys from my pants, and grabbing a tote-bag so I don't forget to bring that when I got outside later to try to fix it, and it isn't working, but I absolutely can't focus on one thing at the same time because reasons. Any suggestions?
Person 2: Have you tried focussing on one thing at the same time?
Person 3: Have you tried grabbing a tote-bag so I don't forget to bring that when I got outside later?
@kingannoy @yaelwrites yeah, I'm familiar with the X-Y problem and its variants; it was more a funny coincidence that both of you posted about having to do `X` at the same time...
@kingannoy @th bur what are your Xs and Ys tho
@th it's an efficient way to describe scenarios methinks
