tbr: The Creative Brain by Nancy Andreasen, Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
My varied interests/ideas are all pulling for first place lately. There are different energy levels and inspiration seasons, and I'm definitely riding the pinnacle of inspiration rn. It's fun.

Sometimes though, I get overwhelmed by all the new projects I want to start, and I end up procrastinating and not doing any of them. I love living in the research era, taking notes and writing about them, but I lack the follow-through on execution.
