The Product of Overthinking
Do you have shiny object syndrome?
I start off nice and easy, with one project I like to work on. It goes well, I see progression and I’m really stretching the creative muscle. But something about being creative gives you a surge of new ideas not related to the project you’re doing right now. Can I just shelve it and wait until I have the time to focus on the idea? Sometimes, but some start growing and takes on a life of its own. At this time it becomes impossible for me to ignore, festering in my mind and so I tell myself I’ll split my time between the two projects.
The Weirdest Sense Of Freedom
The freedom is not being controlled by your situation or previous results
Why Are We Rushing?
On occasion which doesn’t happen enough, I notice my frantic pace. Whether I’m eating, working or any ordinary activity. I’m moving like a jittery man hopped up on caffeine. (I only drink a maximum of one coffee a day, so I know it’s not that.) Each mannerism is like I’ve put myself on x2 speed and it’s like an aggressive coach is screaming at me to ‘GO GO GO!’ But thankfully I recently noticed my manic movements. When this happens, I have to take a moment to slow down and go again in a more sustained healthier manner.
