Before I started officially working in tech, I HAD to complete projects ASAP. I won't bore you with all of the details but at one point I think I even went slightly insane. I knew that if I ever got a tech job I was going to have to get that under control. I would always have a backlog and I can't skip meals and sleeping because my queue isn't clear.
I "reverse engineered" my thoughts in a sense. What do I feel? When else do I feel this way? What do I imagine when I feel this way? What other things in my life are these feelings linked to?
The concept of "just relax" sounds difficult because we don't have details yet. It's like somebody handing us a laptop and saying "It's broke. Can you fix it?" How is it broke? Likewise, behind your productivity obsession are all kinds of microprocesses. Perhaps finding balance is as simple as finding out which of those microprocesses you need to terminate or alter.
Another thing I often ask myself is what I'm going to regret at the end of my life. Coding is fun, but I don't want to do it so much that I miss out on things like spending time with my wife, going out for a drink, or watching an old TV show.
I hope you find balance soon. You're a hard worker. Any time you have to yourself has been more than earned.

Thank you so much for this🥺
Yeah I don't want coding to take over the role of people in my life, I would definitely work on this....thank you once again🥺
