What are your guys' thoughts on completing a goal as a 'placeholder' for something else?

At the moment I have my egg goal tied to 'Write' which is meant for working on my novel or doing a writing exercise. However, I've been working on an important lengthy job application at the moment and that's really sucked out the energy I have for writing fiction. I don't want to unassign my egg from it but I'm also not making egg progress while I'm busy with this which is a legitimate goal that just takes priority temporarily, so I'm considering completing 'Write' even though I haven't done what that goal is *technically* for.

I weirdly feel like I'm cheating/lying, even though it's a single player self care app and there's no way to cheat because I'm not competing with anyone else, just looking after myself. Have you guys ever done something similar?
