• If you apply debugging session concepts to the human mind it might offer utility
  1. Identify the "bug": Recognise a thought pattern, emotion, or behaviour that's causing issues
  2. Set "breakpoints": Identify triggers or moments when this problem typically occurs
  3. "Step through" your thoughts: When you hit a "breakpoint," pause and examine your thought process carefully
  4. Inspect "variables": Analyze your emotions, beliefs, and assumptions in that moment
  5. Trace the "execution flow": Follow the chain of thoughts that led to the problematic behavior or emotion
  6. Look for "logical errors": Identify any cognitive distortions or irrational beliefs
  7. "Console.log" equivalent: Keep a debug log to record your thoughts and emotions during these moments
  8. Make "code changes": Implement new thought patterns or behaviors to address the issue
  9. Run "tests": Practice these new patterns in real-life situations and observe the results
  10. Iterate: Refine your approach based on what works and what doesn't

Breakpoint: Received new project

Step Through:
- "This project is massive. I don't even know where to start."
- "I need to figure out the entire plan before I can begin."
- "What if I mess it up? My boss might think I'm incompetent."
- "I'll just check my emails first and come back to this later."

Variables:
- Large Project 
- Overwhelmed (8/10)
- Anxious (7/10)
- Slightly panicked (6/10)

Execution Flow:
- Avoided looking at project details
- Spent 45 minutes checking and responding to non-urgent emails
- Took an unnecessary "coffee break" to delay starting


Outcome:
- Project start delayed by 2 hours
- Increased stress about falling behind
- Feeling of guilt for procrastinating

Changelog:
- Split project into smaller steps

Test:
- Made much more progress than usual
