I think you do lots of constructive things , they may be a small thing everyday but it's all adding up to good things
and I recall reading an autobiography by Bertrand Russell, writing about his method of creation
For a few years for a project he would study and study and get skills , then he would be tired, sated, feeling like he just couldn't do any more so he would rest on the project for 6 months.
That 6 months wasn't really rest at all, it was his mind working on how to use all the data and skills on his project, how to do his project, even changing what the project might be.
Then "rested" he would spend a few months in a frenzy of work .
But that study and rest was the real work, the getting it on paper was recording his work.
I wish I got something done everyday! But thanks, that’s a good way to look at it.
You looked after pot plants today. That's something.
