iPhone analysis paralysis
3 weeks ago, girlfriend got me a new iPhone for my birthday. We were about to go on vacation, to the beach, where there’s a lot of sand. I decided to leave the new phone at home and take my current which is fine and proved to be a very good decision (lots of sand indeed).
I am now back and decided to use the morning to migrate to the new phone. Little did I remember how paralyzed I feel when I have to do this every 5 years or so. I start thinking about everything that I have to do and it blocks me. I don’t want to do it.
So I went to youtube, found a cool video with a good explanation but that made things worse.
The guy does it in a way I would like to, so I start thinking I need an external drive to do my backups and not occupy too much iCloud space, but that I will have to let go the automatic backup part.
And then I start thinking that the charging pin in my current phone doesn’t work so I won’t be able to connect it to the computer but transfer over wi-fi takes a long time and that makes me think I like to clean apps and data that I don’t use so I don’t carry garbage to the new phone and that reminds me that I also have to erase photos so I save iCloud space and that i need to get an external drive to backup photos and... well... you get it.
So yeah, I’m freezing about this. But I see it as good freeze. It’s procrastination, anxiety, ADHD, whatever gets me that day but for a minor thing.
And, most importantly, it’s not being carried away to other things in my life so I think I’ll be ok.
I just need to get away from this analysis paralysis.
Thank you for reading.
