I learned long ago that if the focus of my obsessing is on some future state or accomplishment then I will be anxious, miserable and not at all creative or productive. But if I can direct the obsessing to actual activities I enjoy in the here and now, I find my sweet spot.

I forget this constantly, and have to bring myself back to it repeatedly. But whenever I do, I find I’m home again.
