You're Not Wasting Your Time

Posted January 14, 2019

Sometimes when I'm working on things that I enjoy, yet have no obvious or immediate benefit, I have to convince myself repeatedly that I'm not wasting my time. I'll tell myself that what I'm working on is a valid, constructive use of my time.

I'm feeling this most strongly when doing things that would be considered hobbies.

I wish I didn't need to do this. I think I feel guilty if I'm not productive. It's something to work on.

How do you deal with your mind trying to knock you off course?
