      1/ I've talked about my extended post-defense brain fog on here for a while now. Yesterday I realized: That ain't it. I spent the morning working on a very specific task with a well-defined deadline and poof -- my brain worked like it use to and it felt effortless.

      2/ What happened? I think during my #phdlife I accumulated literally hundreds of projects and a dozen or so really cool ones that I wanted to do when I had time. Now that the phd is done it's pretty obvious: there is never enough time for all that.

      3/ Narrowing down all the cool projects I fantasized about doing *during* the phd is an exhausting let down exactly because they were fantasies and now I have to carefully reject them as such.

      4/ (This may be the most depressing thing I've written about on here, and I've written repeatedly about my experience with cancer. Killing dreams that helped you get by feels like murder.)

          I feel like this is sort of the ADHD vibe? I collapse without structure.

          It’s really helpful to read, thank you When I left my job last year, post-cancer, I wrote down this big long list of projects I was going to do, and, yep, you’ve nailed the feels...

          That's how I'm looking at it. The positive and implied flipside is exactly why there is always great work to be done. There's a lot less of you than you think, but that applies to everyone else too. There are lots of great things not yet built because no one took the time...yet.

          Someone recently told me on a job interview to not overestimate how much free time I'll have after my defense. After that and also reading your story I feel kind of liberated, because sometimes having all these ideas is overwhelming.

          You can do this more easily by skipping the PhD, accomplishing nothing, and rejecting all dreams.

          I had a poster in my room when I was a kid: "Everything I need to know about life I learned from Star Trek". One thing it said: "Having a thing is not so pleasing as wanting; it is not logical, but it is often true."
