The two weeks I couldn't rest.

I stopped working on Mudo at the end of December. Submitted the final v2 for review, and had around two weeks to myself before launch.

Instead of feeling relieved or relaxed, I felt restless.

What now?

I opened Notion, went through my old notes, and found a project idea I'd been sitting on for weeks. It was small enough to finish quickly.

I finished it in under a week. For the first time, I didn't add more features—I'm finally learning to stop doing that.

Then I looked at the calendar. Still a week until launch. I needed something else to fill the time.

So I started writing the story for a game idea I'd had for four years.

I spent three days writing the script. Outlined the world, the characters. Then I got stuck.

In that moment, instead of jumping to a new project, I just... stopped. That's when I noticed something.

My mind can't stay still. Even when it should.

It's not guilt or FOMO. It's something else.

Or maybe it is guilt—just disguised as restlessness.

Lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, feels wrong. Like I'm wasting time. My mind tells me I have ten project ideas I could be working on instead.

Mudo v2 launched on January 8th. Weekly reports. Quick insights. Solid update.

And I'm still learning I don't need to fill every gap with a new project.

I'm noticing this pattern more clearly now—the restlessness I feel when I am not being productive. I don't have it all figured out yet.

But at least I am seeing it.
