I hit 100 unanswered questions in my draft folder and it made me stop

I was cleaning up my computer files last week and found a folder called 'Ask Later'. I opened it and saw I had saved 100 different questions over the past year. They were things like 'why do we park in a driveway but drive on a parkway?' or 'how do birds know where to migrate?' I never actually looked up the answers. I just kept saving them, thinking I'd get to it. Seeing that exact number, 100, made me realize I was treating curiosity like a chore to be done later. It wasn't about finding answers, it was just hoarding questions. Now I try to look up at least one right when I think of it. Has anyone else had a pile of questions they never got around to answering?

Sounds like you're running a museum for unanswered questions.

Maybe the folder's real purpose was just to prove you were still asking questions at all.
