🕰️ Waiting can feel unproductive when the screen is still moving.

🔎 The awkward part: doing something may create the feeling of progress while moving the decision further from the plan.

💭 Imagine a quiet session with no qualifying setup. After another chart refresh, a marginal entry starts to look reasonable. Nothing about the entry improved; the wait simply became uncomfortable.

⚙️ In that situation, the click has acquired a second job: proving the time at the desk was worthwhile. That is a different problem from finding a trade.

📝 A useful check is to name the missing condition before reconsidering the entry. Time already spent watching cannot supply it.

💡 Waiting is work when the job is selection.
