    It’s exactly like this for me as well. The barrier to start tasks is lower, and the anxiety about all the “should do” tasks is not there, as well as the lack of anxiety when finishing something and thinking “but I have way more to do”.

    So combined the mental load is way less, so I have energy to do more.

    Tl;dr I have energy to do more, the ability to do more, and the rewards of doing more.

    Yeah. Some imposter syndrome in there for sure. Years of “you can do even better (at school etc) if you just apply yourself” is hard to overcome.

    I’m working on the negative self talk. I intelectualize a lot, so logically I know I do a good job, but I don’t feel it. So when I get 'attaboys it makes that disconnect very conscious, and I’d feel better if they just didn’t say anything.

    I did the same thing in my last job. My manager thought I did excellent work every day, and said things like “good work” at the end of the day when I was on reddit for 5 hours.

    I did amazing things that was above my position, so my work was excellent, but it felt so wrong when he said good job when I was pretending.
