So, what am I doing today? I know, waiting around for like 7 balls in counterparty courts 🤬
Nothing as annoying as this. Can't start new threads since I'm overcommitted, can't move on any existing thread because ball is in others' courts.
Iirc this is why I started writing

Everybody needs an agency mode where the ball is *never* in another court. Writing is really the best mode. Even things like coding or music have too many dependencies on others (eg library for your favorite language breaks, quiet hours in apartment building so you can't play...)

You *could* pick different tradeoffs inside those activities to optimize for personal-agency-only-mode: use electric instruments w/ headphones; code in more stable environments. This accelerates your feedback loops, too, so it may be worth the (substantial!) setup cost and grind.
