Priority-check - for people who suffer from FOMO
I got myself into a loop with Claude where I got excited with every tiny idea I had, and my mind started to feel overheated, with a constant dopamine and anxiety drip from all the different ideas that I suddenly had to log an start working on. I have ADHD as well.
At the same time, I'm a dude with two small kids, none of their grandparents anywhere near, I'm trying to survive in the current software engineering market, and I need to FOCUS on important and high priority stuff.
I created a skill I initially named fomo-check for myself, and it helped me immensely, to ground me with every new idea. I created the skill the morning after I cut 3 hours of my regular sleep time to work on a fantasy novel project. I'm not a writer and never wrote anything aside from t technical articles. You get the gist of it.
Then I got excited about the fomo-check skill itself (we're going meta here) and spend a few days working on it, refining it, tinkering to make it publishable and usable by others.
Then I renamed it to priority-check because it is not just about FOMO.
Well, I think it is quite useful, feel free to try it. I'm certain there are already hundreds of alternatives that achieve the same result, but this one is mine.
