I’m not sure what to call it, but just being totally enmeshed in a project where I become hyper-focused on building something, creating a design, solving a problem or fixing something, it just sort of blots everything else out. Consumed? Obsessed? I can’t stop until I’ve done the thing, but afterwards it kind of sucks. I’m just coming off that now and feel aimless, and I’m like, “Ok, well now what do I do with myself?” It’s not as simple as just finding something new, I have to be personally interested in the thing.
Post flow clarity.
I think thats called a post project slump. The feeling of emptiness after having been in a state of hyperfocus.
I love that feeling, if I get it while creating, or building something. If I'm successful, i.e. the result matches my expectations, the sense of accomplishment and pride negates the feeling of emptiness you speak of.
