Everything feels urgent when your brain only has two settings.
Now. And not now.
Not-now doesn't feel like later.
It feels like losing it forever.
So it all gets dragged into now.
The idea that arrived mid-conversation.
The thing you want to say before it slips.
The errand that doesn't need doing until Tuesday.
But most of it doesn't need that urgency.
And treating it all like it does has a cost.
Not just in energy. In the things you break chasing it.
Some things can wait.
They'll still be there.
