I have difficulty with tasks that have no clear ending, like documentation. Sometimes it helps to tell people I'm having trouble with it: Task: "Research and prepare for upcoming feature" Me: "I'm having trouble with this research task, it feels like the task is to discover and document everything that will be needed to implement the feature, and the easiest way I know of doing this is to actually implement the feature and write down what was needed. I don't know where this thing ends." Boss: "Just make a list of the existing project dependencies and put it in a Word doc and send it in an email." (Yes, this barely matches the original task description, but this happens often.) Me: "Ok, I can do that."
