What you’re experiencing is called activity bias and it’s one of the hardest things for humans to get over. It’s hardwired into us.

how do you personally differ if what you're doing is something of value, or whether it'd be more valuable instead to give yourself some time to ponder and rest
I don’t ever really know what to do at any given time, but I have a fairly strong sense of what not to do.
Socrates once said “I follow nothing but the reasoning which upon reflection seems to me best.”
Which is basically him just saying trust your gut, because your gut instincts were honed over millions of years of evolutionary pressures.
I’ve learned to trust that my intuition has a deeper and more profound wisdom than my thinking mind, so I don’t allow logic to override it with fancy arguments. I just follow my gut wherever it takes me.
definitely agree with all of this. i've followed my gut in unexplainable situations, and looking back i've had no regrets. it's somehow like angel on your shoulder or a light in the darkness, that guides you
i'm trying to build my mental models and mindset, moving from a casual 9-5 space of mind into a business/entrepreneur view of the world, so i'm just trying to take everything in as i go and find new inspirations

Thanks for this discussion. It's sometimes hard for me to listen to my intuition. As Albert Einstein said:
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
„Der intuitive Geist ist ein heiliges Geschenk und der rationale Verstand ein treuer Diener. Wir haben eine Gesellschaft erschaffen, die den Diener ehrt und das Geschenk vergessen hat.“

Checks out.
The little rational ego monkey in your head needs to be kept on a leash that’s for sure.
Midwits are basically humans who have forsaken their gut
