Great feeling. Temporarily reduces the sensory jumbling. Reinforces your belief in your skill, your reasons for leaving everything else aside and focusing on this. Makes you want to dive into more work, and makes you feel like you can instinctually ace it all. 

Of course it’s only fleeting, and it passes. Until, with time, the overthinking kicks in again and we’re back to square one. 

Need to start new work in that exact window between when an existing project is delivered and a new one successfully pitched. 

Need to figure out smarter ways to prevent the brain kicking into overdrive. 

Need to let more of instinct drive creativity as opposed to carefully crafted thought based on trends.
