@piegames @esther@strangeobject.space FWIW, the experience was the same for me, until I realized that I just needed to detach from things for *longer* before my brain stopped actively wanting to check in on things.
Detach for a few days? Didn't work, idle polling. Detach for a week? Suddenly, the entire drive to constantly check things disappeared, as I *really* started to engage with other non-pressured things.
