My creativity has certainly changed and I'm middle-aged. I find myself constantly trying to make everything as ergonomic as possible. Years of sitting in an office chair has warped my spine, which now means I have to take regular breaks every 15 minutes or so to straighten out my back. In my early 20s I could go for long stretches in a chair, happily coding away doing 'sprints'. Now I've turned everything into a marathon, stretching out my work thinly over longer periods of time, paying attention to and mulling over details instead of glossing over them (something my younger self would do all day: gloss over everything and ignore nuance, yet still get things done)

could I rephrase it by instead of short term you can project long term and see how tiny papercuts would add up in the future ?
