I'm the primary developer for a third party tool for Elite Dangerous and this is basically my entire thought process when I want to work on it.

I could work on Observatory...

Or I could play some Elite...

Or I could just stare at my screen ineffectually for several hours.

Staring at the screen wins frighteningly often.

I came back to playing a few weeks ago and absolutely stopped working on the 3rd party tool for X4 that I was making.

Now, to get back to making programs, I am going to completely stop playing for a while. Because when I start dong something, I feel like doing another thing and then another and it goes on and the day is over.

I also tend to be stuck thinking sometimes, whether to make the program I want, to put on my CV or to complete my resume website and spend a few minutes of staring at the screen, until I just go make some food.

I hate that feeling of bouncing between things, or of just staring at my screen so much. So much. But when it happens, I am rarely able to snap out of it in the moment. It usually takes a few days and a mood change to fix it.
