I’ve been thinking about the times when consistent productive work doesn’t feel like good.
It’s interesting because there are some stretches where I’m building and coding like mad and it’s invigorating and electric. my brain is producing tons of feel good chemicals about what’s happening.
And then there’s other days, like today, where I end the day exhausted and run down, feeling like I didn’t accomplish much. But then I see that I made two huge commits with enormous changes to a codebase.
It’s super weird how whatever is going on in the brain has such a significant impact on how I feel about my day.
