Original Advice

DONT: Don't confuse productivity spikes with emotional regulation or worth.

Stop Mistaking Output For Worth

Your sprint is a disguise. You call it momentum; it’s anesthesia. Every sudden surge of output is you outrunning the noise in your chest. You slap a meeting over a feeling and hope it shuts up. It doesn’t. Adrenaline impersonates calm, metrics impersonate meaning. You finish the list and still twitch. That isn’t regulation. That’s a polished panic.

Spikes burn bright and leave ash. They regulate nothing; they distract. The body calms through rhythm, not fireworks. Repetition, meals, sleep, simple breath—the boring architecture—builds steadiness. Worth exists without invoices. Output measures labor, not soul. When you tie value to velocity, you need crisis to feel alive. Then you manufacture one. Break the loop. Choose baseline over blaze.
